I have a question

[TammyLee66 152]

I'm having surgery on Wednesday the 31st and I have acrylic nails my surgeon did not say anything to me about removing them do you think they will be OK for surgery or should I have them removed

When I had gallbladder surgery they told me to remove mine. This time they said no polish but I have my natural nails now. If your hesitant to remove them call and ask. You don't want a surgery day surprise. My gut says remove them.

You need to have at least one without polish so they can check your oxygen level during surgery- they use one of your fingers/nail beds.

I'm having my surgery on the 30th and I asked this same exact question! I love my acrylics, so they told me that it needs to either be a clear coat, or something light, like a French manicure!
Good luck on your journey![emoji177]

Every surgeon is different. I was sleeved on Friday the 26th. I wear the gel nail polish and was not asked to remove them. The day of surgery my nails were red

In my class we were told to remove at least one nail if you had fake nails and if you had polish to remove the one nail of polish.

I just had my pre surgical testing and they told me no nail polish on the fingers.

I did talk to my nurse today for my surgery and she said my acrylic nails are fine as long as I have no polish on them which I have French tip

I had surgery 2 months ago and I got a mani/pedi beforehand; natural nails with clear on fingers and purple on toes. No problem at the hospital.

I went in with purple toes too. Natural fingernails-no polish.

I had acrylic nails and they had no issues with them.
