A member asked:
41 y/o f going to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy soon . is it ok to have real nails but with acrylic overlay and them painted?

Surgery ?: Surgery will not be affected by nail coverings or color. Hysterectomy is done for many reasons, so to be certain, have a "second opinion" prior to accepting the procedure, as there may be alternatives.

Health measures: There are more important things to do before surgery than one's nails. If you smoke, quit doing that. Take oral iron and multivitamins to ensure that you have a normal hemoglobin. It would help to improve your stamina through exercise so that you can get ambulatory sooner, following surgery. https://www.asahq.org/whensecondscount/preparing-for-surgery/prep/preparing-for-surgery-checklist/
