SalOdyssey 441 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Yes,I have surgery July 6th,have blood work July 5th.......BUT I HAVE BEEN SMOKING,you think if I drink tons of Water the next 4 days I'll be okay,I quit for a month in April & had 2 deaths in my family , one very tragic & started back up. HELP SOMEONE!!!!! Sent from my SM-T560NU using the BariatricPal App How long did the surgeon want you to be smoke free? If they test for nicotine, all the Water in the world isn't going to make a difference, but I would re-quit immediately. Sorry for your losses.

KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 23, 2016 Water will not make a difference. You need to quit or they could cancel surgery. I'm very sorry for your losses - I can only imagine how difficult that was and understand you smoking. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amandaelder4 26 Posted June 23, 2016 How do you plan on explaining your weight loss after the surgery? Are you planning on telling people you had the surgery or another reason? I am on the fence on how I will explain it, especially since there are so many that criticize the surgery.I am on the fence about this too. I have only told such a few amount of people. I mean we are still putting in a lot of hard work, sweat, and tears. So maybe, I will tell selective people.
