Hey there surgery date of Aug 26th here had my class this past Friday and this is when I was told people having this surgery need to quit so I haven't had a cigg all day I'm doing semi ok but it's hard when others smoke as well how did all of you smokers out there handle it?

I had surgery August 22, 2014 and started vaping in June in order to quit smoking by my surgery. I just tapered down the nicotine in the vape until I was down to 0. Then I lost interest in the vape.

Over 2 years smoke free and I'm prouder of that than the weight loss :) Good Luck!

It IS hard! On top of it I was on a medically supervised diet per my insurance. Can you imagine?? Trying to quit smoking AND dieting? It's no wonder I didn't kill someone.

My Dr said I had to not smoke for 2 weeks before surgery, so I basically told myself I could do anything for 2 weeks. Sometime in that process I realized I didn't want to have to go through quitting again and decided to stick with it. I truly hated not smoking for the better half of 3 months but I'm glad I stuck with it. I used toothpicks to get past the hard times in the car. You'll be better for it, but just remember just because quitting feels bad, it doesn't mean it is bad

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
