Surgery

[TrishLamb]

Sounds like a silly question but I am having my surgery tomorrow. They’ve said no nail polish, but does that mean toes to???? Like I said sounds silly but I got gel on so would need to start filling lol.

Not able to answer your question but sending good luck wishes your way for tomorrow x

Hi Tricia

Good Luck for your Surgery tomorrow 🍀 if you’ve got it off your finger nails they’ll be happy enough, they like to put a pulse oximeter on your finger in theatre. I only had polish on my toes & took it off.

My finger nails were another story! 💅🏼

All The Best 🌺

Hi, I’ve got my surgery next week and was wondering the same thing lol. Good luck and big hugs . Carolyn x

All best wishes and big hug for excellent outcome for today . You will be in good hands . I went to theatre with bright red nails but nothing on my toes as drs agreed they would use those for observations , and ignored my acrylics . Wasn’t that nice!

Yes you do need to remove all nail varnish. Its a precaution in case of breathing issues and your natural colour can be seen instantly

Yes..your natural nail appearance can tell Surgeons alot.

If they have your big toes they are happy enough, l think when your having a lumpectomy or a mastectomy they don’t want to make a fuss about your nails 💅🏼 my surgeon just asked me to ditch the black as it would frighten the Technicians! 😉
