Confession time! I did quit smoking before surgery and i am cheating now. i have had 2 cigarettes this week. i DOT NOT want to become a full time smoker again, but i know i'm headed for trouble just smoking occassionally. I've tried it before, and it didn't work.

Additionally, my doctor told me that should i smoke after surgery that i am running the risk of developing ulcers in my sleeve.

Good luck!

Quit long before surgery and have not given in. Its not worth it to me. My priority in life is to be healthy and move forward not to slide backwards and die early.

I currently smoke, but I'm pre op and have to quit before my surgery. I have 2 close friends that had rny and both are heavy smokers. One is absolutely fine, the other has had major issues from smoking. So it depends on the person. I for one will not take the risk by smoking post op

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
