Did anyone smoke after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Yup I didn't care about anything OTHER then being skinny. Thank god I can soon wear A&F' date=' mock the fat kids, and look cool smoking.

Duh this is a transformation. Transformations take time. I love how because some aren't able to quit smoking right away they don't give a hoot about their health and they just want to be skinny. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY they can be working on overall health. Nope. Not possible.

Smh... Disgusted.[/quote']

My opinion I respect yours respect mine ..

I was telling u my opinion and what I did so your response was unnecessary. You asked a question and I answered lol. Wow, why ask if you aren't smoking all I said was its a personal choice and let no one influence you. Make your own decisions. You had to "clarify" for what.....

From personal experience, I never stopped smoking (except for the overnight hospital stay obv). My doctor knew I smoked and never told me to quit. Neither did the anesthesiologist. They both said that quitting can cause more of a strain on your body prior to surgery (not advocating it, just letting you know what they said). I smoked the day before and the day I was released. Haven't had a single problem with recovery. I've healed wonderfully, and I have no complaints.

All I was saying was dont let people hound you for not quitting.

Now, time for an afternoon cig :)

Actually the quote was "they'll give a nicotine test". So in fact it was implied all docs give it. It was not said that their doc gave one.

Their being offended by a smoker is like someone being offended by a fat person. Both can kill but your screaming does nothing to help or change the fact. It only hurts the person and that might cause deep insecurities and depression.

Also for second hand smoke to kill you would have to be exposed to a higher concentration then passing someone on the street.

Going by your allergies I'm guessing you never smoked' date=' so it is difficult to understand just how hard it is to quit.

God people I never said its good so let's all smoke.[/quote']

Yes but she was talking in her earlier comment about her experience so I was assuming her experience...my surgeon gives nicotine tests too. So would you guys quit if you became pregnant? I'm not a smoker but I dont get how someone can quit for 9 months and then just go back to that bad habit

Actually. I was a heroin addict and a smoker. Quitting smoking was practically effortless. It's totally different for everyone :)

I was a smoker and stopped two weeks before hand....I didn't even want to smoke afterward but now that I'm three months out I'm struggling with wanting to start again, especially when I'm around other people that smoke! Good luck on quitting!

Hang in there I feel like this at times .. I say if I just have one specially because I was a stress smoker only smoked when I was upset or stress and sometimes I social smoked .. Its hard cause when I stopped smoking chocolate ice cream was my replacement now that I don't have that in my life it's hard but I'm fighting the temptation

That's how I was!! The hardest for me was driving with my fiancé. When I quit, smoking and driving was the hardest part to give up. Then after he'd not smoke around me except in the car. Peppermints helped me tremendously. And drinking a lot of Water. If you're ready to quit and stay away from them good job! If you aren't I hope you get to that point eventually. It's wonderful to have that extra cash and clothes that don't smell bad.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
