    I think you have to get them removed (cut out or however they do it) You can’t have any metal on your body as it can heat up and in the op room and burn you xxx

    You will be fine! You will have to sign a disclaimer to say that you agree that there can be added complications…the nurse explained that there is a small electrical current which stops bleeding (not entirely technical there, sorry!) which can jump to anything metal in your body so you can get a slight burn but this is unlikely. I couldn’t get piercings out of my ear and they were fine I just had to tell them and they put sticky tape on it and they specifically said lots of girls have anchors and they just cover them. Hope that helps! x

    I have dermals in my back and asked the nurse if I could sign a disclaimer so I didn’t have to have them removed and she said no. Apparently she asked the top bosses and looked into for me but I still have to get them removed, I really don’t want them removed though I don’t understand why I can’t just sign something and that be that, like Lauren said I’ve seen posts on here about girls not being able to get piercings out and they were still allowed to go ahead with it! But she didn’t really give me a choice in the matter! x

    That’s really unfair as I have lots of piercings in my ears which are barbells. I managed to undo one and change it to a plastic one but couldn’t undo the rest. I spoke to someone at the head office when I got my admission time and checked this was ok and she said yea definitely and then said about all the girls with anchors who would have to get them cut out so it’s fine. That’s so odd. Could you try call the actual hospital you are going to? When I had my op they forgot to get me to sign the form before and got a bit funny but said it was too late so I signed it after. They really didn’t care though! x

    Yeah I think I’m going to argue the case a bit more-the nurse came across a bit funny about it! I see no issue with signing a declaration…it is my body and I am paying them to do it lol Having to have them cut out just seems unnecessary, plus i’ve heard it bloody hurts! I won’t be needing any more pain on top of the boobie pain i’ll be getting afterall haha xxx

    Hey hope dont mind add. Good luck with your op. I have nine on 17th. But like you also have dermal anchors on my hip. Nurse said all need to be removed but I have spoke to girls who kept thetes in just removed the top and had a plaster over. It would be great if could let me no what happens. I am seeing my surgeon again on 5th and going to ask if she is happy for me to keep them in as I forgot to ask when met her last time xxx

    It never crossed my mind to ask about them at my meetings, now im slightly starting to panic. Tbh though if people are getting options to just cover them i think we should be alright. xxx

    Hi girls, I had a plastic belly bar in and they removed that in surgery lol and gave it to my mom so I doubt you will be able to keep metal in xx

    I’ve got a nose piercing and that I’ve been told I have to take out, would you rather be safe or sorry and also the surgery has the right to postpone the Surgery if he or she feels you are at risk. Small things can cause big complications..
