So I'm having fairly major surgery on Wednesday. At my pre op last week, I was told two different things by two different nurses regarding my gel nails. One said they all had to be removed and the other said keeping them on is fine as they will just use my earlobe to put the clippy thing on if they cant get a reading.
On one hand I don't want to have them taken off unnecessarily as I've recently had them done for an event and they cost me over £30 but on the other hand I don't want to risk my surgery not going ahead as I've been waiting since April. The nurse who told me they would be fine was the second nurse and she said that it wouldn't effect my operation going ahead as if I was an emergency case, they wouldn't give a monkeys about my nails.
Can anyone advise on this?
