Hey ya'll....I finally have my date scheduled for surgery on January 14th...only problem is I am having a very hard time giving up the cigs!! Help! I know they say they don't want any smoking six weeks before surgery...my question is, has anyone smoked close to their surgery date? And if so what are the risks? My mom told me of one patient she knew of who had a hard time waking up from anasthesia due to smoking...any insight anyone has would be helpful!!!!:help:
