[Tammy483 162]

I'd anyone start smoking early? Like 2 weeks out?

I was a heavy smoker prior to my surgery(April, 23) . I stopped smoking the day before my surgery. So far I am smoke free. If I'm trying to get healthy that's another thing I needed to do. Also the smoking can cause ulcers.

Don't smoke. I was a smoker 2 years ago. Stoped & best decision ever.

My doc said NO SMOKING cuz it messes with the lining of your pouch and causes ulcers. He actually won't even do the surgery if you haven't been smoke free at least 4 months. And he tests

My DR said same thing.. No surgery if I was still smoking.. And now to even stay away from 2nd hand smoke.. All can cause painful dangerous ulcers for your new pouch.. Sorry..

I quit smoking with chaotic before surgery and stayed smoke free till about a month after surgery and made the mistake of starting again im now almost 3 months out and I'm still smoking I've gotten an ulcer which at first was very painful to say the least. I've tried using chantix again but it doesn't work now. Just burns the heck out of my pouch. I felt much better when i was smoke free.

I haven't smoked yet, but the urge is too damn strong. I stopped the night before the surgery and the cravings are too hard to resist

Ask your doctor if you can wear any of the Patches. The ones that help you stop smoking or the gum.

I haven't smoked yet and I don't want to be dependant on Patches or the gum. Was just wondering of other persons experiences.
