Freshie I have had mine on for 3 years and I was having surgery last week and it took my husband 30 minutes to get one of the screws undone. I was sweating! I was told the hospital would cut it off! So finally it budged he used the cartier screw driver with some pliers to turn it.i remember when I was having an mri I couldn't get it off last year. So it can take work! Yes we scratched it. I actually switched it to my left wrist for now but I don't play around with it unless medically it needs to come off.
Is it absolutely necessary to remove it for a MRI? Can they cover it with something instead?
 
You can leave on for MRI:smile1:
Why did you say you took them off for an MRI?

One time I was having carpel tunnel surgery and when the nurses saw them, they freaked out and said I was going to get electrocuted, or something, but my doctor said that wasn't true at all (she originally thought they were those bracelets people wear to help with arthritis or general well being lol) so I left them on, with no worries.

The only problem with these bracelets (I have the old ones) is how hard it is to take them off, and although it is possible, I don't want to wear out the screws, taking them on and off, every time I have an X-ray or something…
 
would it be totally ridiculous to get the love bracelet if i require taking it on and off every time i wear it? i don't like having anything on all the time, esp if i'm sleeping or taking a shower. i don't like the cuff either cause i have issues with that style staying on my wrist properly.

would it matter if i got the new system or preloved old system? i keep reading about new system loves getting lost and that's so scary!!!
 
So do you think the cuff can fall off your wrist? With the horror stories of the new system I am leaning towards the cuff, but haven't tried it on and don't know if cuffs also just come off unknowingly.

No I tried to take off for MRI and was not able to unscrew it. But last week I had surgery and it had to come off for that. They insist. Didn't mean to confuse you!

I would not get the bracelet if you plan on taking it off. It will create problems with the screws. It's meant to stay on.

i've worn cuff type bracelets before and they always kinda fall off. could also be they are too big but it just scares me.

If it fits well then the cuff should never fall off. It takes some force and pressure to put my cuff on. I could only see it coming off if it got caught on something, then if I twisted it on my wrist and then I managed to pull my wrist out but I would definitely feel or notice that.

There is absolutely no way the cuff will fall off unnoticed. The opening is very small (around 2.5cm or 1") on my size 18 cuffs. You really need to force it to put on and off.
BTW, I have two cuffs and never regretted not getting a bangle knowing I can't keep it on all the time.

Hey All,
I have a dilemma with my love bangle. I am thinking of taking it off and don't know what to do. It just seems to not fit well since I have lost all my baby weight from being preggers. I am really confused and don't know what to do. I don't want an expensive piece of jewelry to sit in my jewelry box, but don't have any other options since it is engraved. Maybe try switching to other wrist? I attached a pic. I really think I should have a 15? Does it look too big. Honest opinions welcome and very much appreciated.

That looks really big, but sometimes it's hard to tell from pictures. The bottom line is, that it has to be good for you. If you can't make peace with it, find it annoying, and just simply hate wearing it, then nobody else's opinion matters. You would still be able to sell it, just not at a premium. Btw.. Congrats on loosing all that baby weight! :)
