Smoking/Hubble bubble

[sarahkaj 9]

Im a hubble bubble smoker. I really dont know if its allowed post sleeve. Im 2 weeks post op. I refrain from asking my dr cause he's soooo strict and wouldn't let me anyway ! So any of u guys are smokers ? And what do u think?

Idk what hubble bubble is. The problem with smoking is that it hinders the healing process. It'll slow it down and the healthy tissue takes longer to regenerate. So hold off on smoking for fewer to no healing complications. But again.... Idk what hubble bubble is, that may not even be relevant for ur situation...

WOW, I'm surprised that your surgeon is even allowing you have surgery and still smoke. I met a lady at the gym the other day that has the same surgeon as I do. She's a smoker and I'm not. She told me that our doctor refused to even consider doing her surgery as long as she was smoking. The doctor said she had to have documented proof that she had not smoked within 90 days of surgery.

Apparently smoking and surgery is nothing to play around with.

Its the big bubble looking thing that you put Water in the bottom and it has a bowl on top for coals and smoking tubes that come out the sides.

I think that smoking is smoking and it's going to hinder your healing and therefore is not allowed. Just my educated guess though.

I imagine hookah is out, as you get far more bad stuff with each inhale, than you do smoking cigarettes.

my surgeon doesn't allow it either. They actually blood test you for nicotine right before surgery. If they detect it = no surgery. They tell you that up front though. No surprise tests and the end of all your hard work, you know that it's coming.

I also smoke Nargilah (known as hooka.h in the States) on a regular basis. No issue here.

Allowed? I don't know any doctor that would tell you it's okay to smoke.

I restarted my nargilah usage over the summer.
