JustSkinnyMeInside 89 Posted December 30, 2012 At our support group mtg, someone there commented about smoking and asked why we arent supposed to smoke. My surgeon said the reason is because if you smoke post sleeve, there is a 100% chance that you will get a stomach ulcer. Just passing that along.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

selbradey 321 Posted December 30, 2012 Justme, some people go back to smoking cigs and whatever as well, i have noticed on other threads....so hooka smokers are less likely to do damage a) its not easy to grab like cigs, it has to be prepared with Water and hot coals hooka is not addictive like cigs or cigars or pot. I have smoked once since my surgery in two months, unlike cig smokers who light up every ten minutes. Therefore, you cannot develop an ulcer from smoking a hooka like a one pack a day cig smoker.

ultrav!olet 6 Posted January 6, 2013 Hi As I mentioned earlier I had my surgery on 9 Dec 2012 and recently I started noticing that I am getting some kind of allergic reaction. After I am done with my meal my face, neck, shoulders and chest start itching me and red spots would appear. I tried to monitor what kind of food is giving me this allergic reaction but I failed to point it. I never had any kind of allergy neither from food nor medicines throughout my life. I would like to hear an advice or a similar story or maybe an opinion on what to be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
