Anyone leave their daith piercing in during surgery? Please let me know. Thank You

I dont have that piercing but absolutely no jewelry in surgery per my surgeon, also no nail polish, lotion, makeup, etc and no shaving 3 days prior to surgery.

I can't take my Tragus out because it's too tight. The nurse told me to let them know when I go in and they will put tape over it.

What about acrylics or gel tips on your nails! I have my daughter's wedding one week before surgery and she wanted us to get our nails and toes done together. If I can't keep my nails, I'll just get a Mani with clear coat. Thanks in advance if anyone has first-hand experience and knows the answer.

@TheNewMrsR None. I had gel and had to take it off - they need to see your nail beds while you are knocked out, also the pulse-ox on your index finger won't read your oxygen level correctly with polish on.

I don't want to get there and have them delay surgery to get it off.

Thanks! I'll just get a clear coat and remove it before surgery then. Glad I asked before spending a lot of money on it!

I was told by the OR nurse that acrylics and light polish is okay. This was when I went in for my endoscopy. She said the reason for no dark polish is because the pulse thingy can't read through the polish, but light-colored polish is okay. I guess every OR is different.

Congrats on the wedding and best wishes on your surgery.

Google is your friend.

It's the center part of your ear. The little triangle piece that pokes out opposite the C the ear forms

I believe the diath is lower and Tragus is upper but might have it mixed up

Ask your surgeon. I did and mine said it was fine they didn't need to see the nail bed and the pulse ox worked fine with polish.

But ask YOUR surgeon (to the poster who asked!)
