So today I met the dietician for my preoperative diet. And then I seen my nurse. I was originally supposed to have the bypass and needed to quit smoking but I found out that the doctor submitted for sleeve. I am fine with that but I asked the dudnt nurse did that still mean I needed to have no nicotine in my system before surgery and she said no but I would heal better. I am sill cutting back was just was anyone who was it is a smoker told that they didn't have to quit for surgery, or couldn't use any nicotine substitutions. I just don't want to get on surgery day and be turned around cause I used patches or gum....please help

I stopped 4 days before surgery. I used cream of tarter to help with cravings. Put a teaspoon in 8 oz orange juice

Thanks yall!!!

I am so excited I had surgery on Tuesday and as of this morning I am down 20 lbs wow. I don't see my surgeon until another week but I hope he is happy. I know it slows down the further you get put but I am going to enjoy while the scale is moving!!

Just read about someone going in for surgery and it not being unsuccessful but did not tell why. Have anyone heard of stories like this and what was the reason? My date is Dec 1st and this makes me worry.

Yes I understand the difference but she arrived at the hospital for surgery but they didn't go thru with the procedure
