I totally agree about the nicotine in e cigs. My surgeon does not allow nictoine in your system. I use e-cigs that are completely nictoine free. For those who have surgeons that allow nicotine, the varying strengths may be a good option.

I quit smoking 3 weeks ago and stopped diet soda earlier this year. It has been really hard at times but with my surgery coming up close(9/10) I just keep telling myself that it is worth it. I love vaping! Found a bunch of places online that will custom mix flavors and nicotine strengths.

Your pre op sounds just like mine and my surgery date is 9/10:)

Same for me! I have been away from my computer all day long (working with about 30 kids on a circus:) ) and I am just now catching up!

Congratulations! An anniversary and a surgiversary all at once!!

I just tried to create the group, but....I don't have any people to add to it so I can't create it:/ I am soooo computer inept!

I have been away from a computer all day and I can't seem to start a group from my phone:/ If someone gets to it before me I am alllll over it!! If not, I will be on my computer in about an hour and I will come up with something:) Something simple-September Sleevers? I can't believe 9/10 is exactly 5 weeks away!!!

Yay! Another 9/10 here too:)

Yay! Another 9/10 here too:)

Do you think you have to be retested after the antibiotics?

You are going to be fine:) Just remember to relax! They are used to people being nervous. I chatted about 100mph in mine and my psychiatrist just laughed a little!

Congratulations! I can't believe it is so close now. What is your 30 day diet like?

I'm going to go head over and start something:) I'll post as soon as I have it going!

It depends on your surgeon of course but I would imagine that nipple rings would definitely need to come out. If there was a problem during surgery and they needed to use a defibrillator, the nipples rings might get in the way. I know some piercings can be covered with medical tape though!

Welcome and congratulations!
