Is it safe to smoke cigarettes?

[SueBee01 630]

That's easy, NO. If you are working toward a healthy lifestyle, absolutely no. Sorry, I am a prior smoker.

No. Lung cancer isn't a fun way to die.

I was just wondering how it would hurt the band.

The word is it can cause ulsers so it's bad for he band, they told me the joke irritates the stomach after the band is placed. I'm quitting now so I can get my surg, they won't do it unless I quit, been 15 days surg isn't till the end of nov.

why dont you ask your lap band doctor and see what they say...

It slows the healing process, as well as contributing to erosions.

not to mention the higher risk of blood clots...

[brandice 40]

it'll cause the band to erode into the stomach

Obviously it isn't smart to smoke...but my dr said it doesn't directly effect the band. My band is on the stomach not my lungs.
