Ms_Corp 6 Posted July 19, 2013 I stopped smoking before surgery but my urges are back and BAD! Has anyone smoked after surgery ? Any suggestions ! Helpp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annaf 3 Posted July 19, 2013 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!

notmeanymore 629 Posted July 19, 2013 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. 1 DeezJeanz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoochMonster 64 Posted July 20, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
