Smoking And The Gastric Sleeve

I am approaching my last month for supervised diet and my weight has actually increased. I will have to meet with my surgeon on the 4th of Sept and the meet with the nutritionist. I think this whole insurance red tape is just a mess. I am 222 at 5'1 but I smoke they told me to stop smoking 8 weeks prior to surgery. I just stopped yesterday I dont smoke cigarettes, I smoke black and mild cigars once a day and its the short cigar not the standard size. Will they be able to tell with a urine test. Can I just tell them I stopped or how long does nicotine stay in your system? ANY RECOMMENDATIONS

?

Honesty, I would stop. It is really important that you do, not only for your overall health but for your recovery. I was banded in 2009 and I smoked a pack a day, it was hard but for the recovery and overall health it was worth the quit!

To answer your question, I don't think they would know or be able to tell by blood work, but they would most likely be able to smell it.

Good Luck!!

MissV2012,

I can soooooooooooooo relate to your post today. I started my pre-op diet and stopped smoking as well. It is a choice that you have to make just like I am striving to stay on the diet strickly you and I both need to stop smoking. I love the DARIUM clove cigars (BLACK) I feel your pain but I am going to give it my best effort to stop... Noone said it was going to be easy but we can do it!!! Keep in touch and sending you positive vibes and thoughts as I have wanted to hit somebody all day because I want a cigar...

SMH....

      Xbox And Exercise - Kickboxing

      By sharon232 · Posted

      I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
