hi manaia84...9 days before i head south...surgery in 10 days... im nervous and excited as well... im glad i found this site and also looking for pre..and post surgery support. as an lpn but non smoker i wanted to maybe help exlplain why quitting smoking is sooooo crucial. when a person smokes and introduces all those chemicals and toxins into your body it causes your immune system to go into overtime to rid all that crap...it continues on 24 hrs as even when u arent smoking theres lots of crap to process...then your body needs to heal and cleanse your kidneys and liver...lymphatic system.. so now you know why when u get a cold or flu smoking delays the normal immune response bc you continue to add junk to the body...so thats why it takes sooo long for you to get over thay cold or illness...nm...adding unnecessary antibiotics...lol...so now you are undergoing a Major and invasive surgery... our body is literally cut open..susceptible to foreign matters...even internal mixtures so naturally the body will undergo pain..new changes in it routine..route...swelling from surgery...potential infection control alert is heightened...do you want your body to have to continue to clean the toxins chemicals from smoking while under going the knife... then get a surprise shit something ugly and strange is happening here and leave the toxins and chemicals to deal with surgical ivasion...expect a long healing..recovery time from surgery if you arent able to quit... surely you will be highly tempted to smoke after your surgery and the viscous cycle in your body begins again ..smoking is a killer... theres sooo much more negative you dont cant see..i hope i somewhat positively...persuaded you to quit now...for life...you can do it!!
