So a month ago i was told to quit smoking i did for 4 days and sadly went back to today at my follow up they said my surgery will be within the next 5 weeks so i have to stop smoking...i asked if i could vape with zero nicotine dr said no. Idk if i can do this my first day will be tomorrow. I dont understand why i cant vape if im not getting any nicotine....anyone else dr tell them same thing?

Is it reasonable to believe i can go back to a semi physical job 1 week after surgery? I haven't had surgery yet I'm just curious if I will have to take more time then a week off which means I would have to postpone my surgery until I get more vacation time Sent from my LG-K540 using the BariatricPal App

So i need to stop smoking for a month before my sleeve surgery and i use to smoke like 12 cigs a day! Today was my first day trying to quit and i failed and smoked 2 cigs......i feel so disappointed in myself my follow up appointment is on the 16th of febuary and was hoping to be able to tell doctor that i quit 30 days ago but guess not now!

And depends on insurance because uhc with me i have no wait time all i had to do was alot of test and provide 5 years of me being overweight. Took me 2 weeks to do all my test and i will be getting my durgery date on my follow up on feb 16th Sent from my LG-K540 using the BariatricPal App

Well dr said that ultrasound found i have some gallstones but since they have never given me any problems hints why i didnt even know i had them they r not going to have it removed. Which if i did have to they said would be a seperate surgery they prefer not to do it together because then multiply risk.....idk but glad it wasnt going to prevent me from surgery!

If it makes you feel any better I am having my surgery on Friday and plan to return to work on the following Monday. I hear I will likely just feel very tired but not a lot of pain Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App What do u do for work? Sent from my LG-K540 using the BariatricPal App

Yea i get the blood clots make it dangerous. I guess that doesnt frighten me enough to never smoke again. I think because i have a blood clotting disorder so im on meds to prevent me from clotting which i have to be off to have the surgery which makes it just a dangerous. I am going to quit i am trying again today and so far so good! Ive quit multiple times cold turkey when i was pregnant and didnt even have the urge to smoke why cant it be that easy for me now. I keep reminding myself how much i want this surgery! Congratulations on quitting it is a touch task. Im hoping to stay smoke free forever after i quit! I cant wait to get my surgery date.
