Anyone vape here?

[Lordofthepugs 7]

Wondering if anyone vapes? If you do how long did you wait until you started vaping again? Do you use nicotine? Do you feel a difference since starting again?

My surgeon says absolutely no nicotine. Part of the pre op prep was quitting all forms. I'd stay off the pen if you can.

My doc told us if we weren't willing to give up nicotine for a lifetime....not to have surgery.

Nicotine can cause ulcers and majorly slows healing. My Dr will not operate on any smoker/vaper unless you have quit at least 12 weeks prior and never take it up again.....you need to just quit, get some help for that please.

Hey thank you for your input. I quit over 3 months ago. I have already had my surgery. And I was just wondering if there was anyone here that continued.

Even if there was. I wouldn't let it give you permission to start as it's a real health risk that the consequences can be really bad.

Like a steam engine. I switched to 0mg juice for a couple months after surgery because nicotine can mess with healing but I went back up to 3mg after that and my doc didn't mind.

Yes I vape (6mg nicotine). I vaped right after surgery in August and have continued. My surgeon wasn't concerned and I wasn't told to stop. haven't noticed any ill effects.

I vape too, though much less than before my sleeve, mainly because I forget and also don’t have the same desire as before. Never caused me any harm.
