Do you have to take your belly bar out when having the op or is a plastic 1 ok?
Plastic is fine, people keep plastic nipple bars in. I kept all my dermals and ‘lady bits’ in (tape covered my dermals and I never mentioned the others) xx
Haha thanx Hun, was just abit worried coz Im guessing I wouldn’t be able to move enough to put it back in after and my mom is comin with me and she would freak out if I asked her to do it coz she is abit squimish, bless her haha
I know what you mean, there’s no way my ‘lady ones’ go in easy, and my fella would struggle, I got him replacing my tongue bars, which was hard enough.
I’m sure Argos do a bio flex one, meant for when your pregnant, so that should be brill xx
God there is so much to think about and prepare for hahaha
I took mine out then realised I had a plastic one watever there called lol so could have put that in as my friend did x
i took mine out just before I went down, nurse helped me put it back in
I took mine out and was fine putting it bak in myself the next day but everyones different I guess might be best to get a plastic one just to be sure xx
Yeah I’d put a plastic one in him, they will still need to put a plaster over it. But metal can sometimes heat up in the body when you’re under general aneasthetic. Not quite sure how that happens lol but it can’t be a nice feeling. So that’s why they tell you to take them out as well as infection control xx
Thy meant to say hun, not him lol. Stupid iPhone! xx
I took mine out but put plastic retainers in my nipples which look like cats eyes in all my pics lol
Thanx girlies. Yea I think I’ll get a plastic one just to make sure
I had a plastic belly bar in I did take mine out. It’s all just incase u get infection I’d rather be safe then sorry lol x
I took mine out then repierced them the same night just keeping an eye on my nipple ones for infection
The reason they tell you to keep all piercings/metal out of your body during surgery is that the instrument they use to stop any heavy bleeding uses electricity.
Electricity + metal = shock
I have 4 dermals, and 14 piercings in total, during my consultation i mentioned this to my surgeon and he said i could keep them all in, but he would have to make a note of it so during surgery they have to use other methods of ‘mopping up the blood’ you could say
