Although I should have, i never did console this with my surgeon. Smoking can cause ulcers during the healing process ive been told. And i believe it. Having said that though, I did manage to smoke just 2 weeks after my procdure, which helped with my nasuea immensely, and im doing just fine, dropping weight like a mad man.
I like that you asked, because prior to my surgery, i was very curious about this. There arent many topics on this and the ones around are usually negative towards the original poster. I know ill sound like a hypocryite, but I wouldnt recommend it just because you are still healing. I wish you the best though. Ill leave my progress below.
Highest weight - 322
Surgery weight (8/16/2016) - 308.5
Current weight (10/11/2016) - 244.2
Good luck
