    Well I had my pre op yesterday and was told my nails must come off. I only had them infilled last week and now I have to pay for them to come off and then pay to have them put back on. I don’t know why I thought these types of nails would be ok, I hadn’t realised it was to see my nail bed I thought it was incase one fell off or something lol
    The nurse said she had never seen someone look so sad about their nails. I’ve only just recently got into having them done.
    So if you’re like me don’t get them infilled too soon before you’re due to have your ba. Also I thought 1 June was next Monday realised today its Tuesday! Gutted now I’ve got another day before I get big boobies!
    On the plus side I am now definate that I am having 460cc overs high profile as opposed to the 410cc.

    i think they have to be able to pinch ur finger nail and see the colour it turns after ur anastetic?? so clear would be okay not patterned i think xx

    I’ve just taken mine off and lost all my own nails in the process! Not happy!!! Not to worry, I’m going to get them re-done as soon as I can (my op is a week Tuesday). Best thing about where I go, they offer a loyalty card, so I can get them 1/2 price next time round – fab!!!!

    Personally I’m more worried bout not being able to use moisturiser, my face will dry up like a prune if I wash in soap. Must take some baby wipes instead LOL! ali

    Hi girls, it’s because they have to put something called an oxygen saturation probe on your index finger, it’s just a plastic clip type thing but it uses infra red light to measure the amount of oxygen in your blood. It could possibly go on your big toe though but it’s not ideal. You could just get the nails taken off the index finger but it depends how strict your anaesthetist is, which you obviously won’t know til the day. As someone else has said though, it’s for your own safety and I’d rather know I was being properly monitored whilst under a general anaesthetic to be honest x
