I looked at the darn thing too.  But I noticed that there were many folks who died years after their surgery and had a different life because of it.  Of course I think of the ones who died from surgery or complications, but I have to try.  I trust my surgeon and the hospital I'll be in. 

Definitely check with your doctor.

I had this question. They told me that I could have my nails and toes painted but I'm going with a french manicure rather than color.  I don't use acrylic but I've read lots of places that say they want the acrylics removed.

The hair. 
The told me I could do it and no problem.

For after surgery, I was told that I could put on make up immediately.  I was also told i could wear makeup into surgery but I'm not going to do that.  I want them to know if my color looks off.  No need and not giving them every opportunity to catch any signs of a complication.

Hope this helps

Hello!

I am having the Realze Band put in on Friday.  I am looking for book ideas for the hospital and during my recovery time.  I am looking for any suggestions,  maybe a good "chick" book, or autobiograpy or any other books you have enjoyed lately.

Thanks,

Jen
