Can I smoke after surgery / Why YES I CAN!!
leticiawhite replied to jubjub's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If your willing to make such a severe change in your life by having this surgery, Its less effort to get to the Dr. and get the pills to help you stop smoking. Plus smoking will make you heal slower. Your stradigy for having surgery to save your body and future health conditions and continue smoking makes no sence at all. -
I have Cigna, they took 5 weks to get approval after everything is submitted by your surgeon.

Yes, If you are severely overweight most likley your liver is fatty. I was just banded Jan. 5th, and my surgeon told me she couldn't tell one lobe from another, and it felt like cheese cake.
