Lordofthepugs 7 Posted December 10, 2017 Just wondering if anyone still vapes after surgery? Do you use nicotine? How long did you wait after surgery to start again? 1 march1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellabloom 2,467 Posted December 13, 2017 Vaping is just as bad as smoking. Nicotine is extremely dangerous to use after surgery. I wish you would consider quitting!! You could get an ulcer for sure and trust me you don’t want that. Plus vaping- it’s just not sexy. [emoji21] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ancirasd 44 Posted December 14, 2017 I tried it without nicotine it was absolutely disgusting to me. I sold all my mods and got rid of everything. I don’t feel the need to smoke or vape at all. It’s how you feel. And if someone who has never vaped before tells you to quit just ignore it. But nicotine is extremely dangerous to use after surgery.

ancirasd 44 Posted December 14, 2017 It can cause an ulcer. And ulcers are very painful and most of the time will need surgery to remove 1 march1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayMateox3 1 Posted December 14, 2017 Just wondering if anyone still vapes after surgery? Do you use nicotine? How long did you wait after surgery to start again? I do! I started up again just a few days after surgery. Probably not the best idea, but I'm at 0-3mg.Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeezLouise91 55 Posted December 14, 2017 I've quit smoking by Vaping for two and a half months now and have been slowly trying to wean myself onto 0mg nicotine. The nicotine is bad for you as it affects blood circulation therefor makes it harder for the wound to heal. Vaping is no way near as bad as smoking and people who say it is isn't educated on them enough, so if you used to be a smoker congratulations on making the switch.

Sonyawon 135 Posted December 14, 2017 Just want to say first, no judgements here, I smoked. Then went to vaping 4 yrs ago... Vaped for 3 yrs. When I decided to have surgery I quit vaping. Just because they said they will test you all the up to surgery date for nicotene and would not do surgery if they found nicotine. I wanted surgery more than nicotene. Its hard but I completely understand and yes vaping is healthier than smoking . we all have it in our minds if we smoke we won't gain weight well lol we are all here having surgery because we did gain weight lol so don't think that you have to go back to smoking to keep it off ....they told us life change that meant eating right...exercise....not smoking ..ect......becoming that new you. What a reward to give yourself!!!!!!!Sent from my LGL84VL using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
