Have to quit smoking before surgery???
coltonwade replied to NikkiD's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They can check from a cotton swap test. just like insurance compaines do . I forget how long it stays in your system in the short term but it CAN show up for up to a yr . HTH Mindy -
I actually ASKED My doc for a hysto and she would NOT do it . She told me at my age ( i was 30 at the time ) its too dangerous , too dangerous to be on hormones for that long if its not needed plus she also said a Hysto is not an approved , recommended or FDA approved treatment for PCOS ! I think you need a second opinion ! Also you will be surprised what weight loss will do for your PCOS and fertility . Go see an endo for sure. I would make sure you tell them ur other doc recommenced a hysto . Mindy

coltonwade replied to NikkiD's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc would NOT operate on me if i was smoking ! There are docs that will not operate if your smoking and some go as far as test you to make sure. They are telling you this for a reason though . People who are smokers that have surgery heal slower and bleed more. Your taking a risk of not being approved and your taking a risk with your health by not doing it. Insurances will LOOK for reasons to not approve you and i can see this as being a reason ! So i would not give them one ! I quit months before my surgery . I did not want to have to try to do it right before surgery .I quit cold turkey , well i had Patches . But there is a drug out there now called Chantix that from what I hear is EXTREMLY affective, I think there might be some threads on it around here. Everyone i know who has used it has quit on it. Even peoploe who smoke 3 packs a day . So my personal opinion and this was my reason of thinking, your having this surgery to become more healthy , why do that AND continue to smoke . YOu will not belive how much better you feel from quiting smoking alone add that on top of getting weight off , ITS AMAZING ! HTH Mindy -
I hear ya i cant wait to get mine cut off either. it seems this first 50 pds came off SO Fast this last 50 or so is taking quite some time. But i can wait , I THINK . even the inches are coming off slowly it seems. Tummy tuck is gonna be awesome. mine is from my PCOS . Lucky us huh . Mindy

Well Actually !!! Tomorrow is my 8 yr anniversary and as i have lost weight I have gained some confidence. My husband was SO excited about me getting this done .

DH has not seen me naked in over 7 yrs in the light ! So this would be as close as he's gonna get to that until the Tummy Tuck and boob job ! WOW That was more info that ya'll prolly wanted to know LMAO MIndy

coltonwade replied to coltonwade's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Sorry i just saw this message. Everyone one in my house has been sick for weeks so i have been trying to get them well so the support group has been out the window. I tried before trying to work with everyone's schedule and that did not go well. It hink what i might do is set maybe 2 dates and see how that goes ? Maybe one during the day and one in the evening ? I will try to do that soon Mindy -
OK Ladies ! Im going in at 11:15 LORD HELP ME !!! Mindy

coltonwade replied to photo's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I think if 5 lbs is going to keep you from loosing 100 then gain 5lbs . That is what this is all about . HEALTH . Gaining a few more pds to save the rest of your life to me is totally worth it . Yes there are tricks to it. But Some docs are more by the book than others. So you have to do what you have to do . Mindy -
