Topic: RE: Hair and nails in the Hospital
My pre-op info  said to go ahead and wash your hair that morning and NO nailpolish.  I would think having braids would be ok but I would call your doc just to make sure.  :-)

I have wanted to sleep for two weeks but couldn't so I stay busy. It s all gonna be worth it in the end. Today I am gonna clean house to keep my mind busy. Good luck and hang in there.

Topic: Nov 6th!
Hi I'm a newbie- sitting here trying to pass the time before my surgery, and NOT think about food.  I'm on a clear liquid diet and starving!!  Did my bowel prep today and wondering how I will make it through the day tomorrow .  Thinking I just want to sleep!  I'm tring to stay busy, but my stomach is growling and my intestines are rumbling.  It will all be worth it, I know.  Anyone else the 6th?

I'll be 3 days post-lap band on Turkey Day. I'm making a turkey breast and all the trimmings on Friday since I start my liquids on Monday.

Best of luck!

Topic: Rash after surgery
Hi this is my first post, hello to everyone.  I had the Lap Band put in one week ago and four days after surgery I have broken out in hives all over.  I am on the same pain killers that I was on before surgery so I am sure it is not that.  I have seen the allergist who claims it could be any number of things given to me during surgery.  I am very concerned that my body is rejecting the band.  Has anyone ever had this problem?  I have already lost 10 lbs from my pre surgical weight and do not want to have it removed!!  I could do without the horrible itching though.

No one said anything to me about hair or nails.I know sometimes the acrylic nails can be a problem for the anesthesiologist. I wish I could help you.
