@@freelee it's a form of smoking; it's vaper instead of smoke, flavored and free of all the chemicals and additives that tobacco cigarettes contain.

Hi all,
I'm new here to bariatric pal and I'm trying to get some information and some real life experiences about vaping after surgery. I am 4 months out after surgery and I REALLY miss my vaping. I miss the flavor I miss the taste etc. I'm just curious if anyone vapes after surgery and what their experience has been. Thanks for reading and answering.

@ Sreeves I am so excited to hear this! I was thinking to myself it has to be better than tobacco products. I'm scared to death to try though. I smoked for 12 years; Marlboro Medium 100s and then I switched to vaping 2 years ago. It was the best thing ever. I don't desire a tobacco cigarette at all; just my vape.
@ RazorbackSusan If you aren't a smoker than you don't know the struggle of it. It's very hard to quit. But I respect your bluntness. I am aware that it's not a healthy choice. Like I said, it's a struggle.

This good to know

I never stopped vaping. I did, however, move to 0 nicotine a few months before surgery. I am now 8 weeks postop and have been vaping since the day I left the hospital. My doctor was fine with it. Since vaping is NOT using tobacco products or combustion, it does not cause you to heal more slowly or increase the risks of DVT or pneumonia. Even if you do vape low nicotine, it isn't enough to cause issues. Some of my juices now are 4 or 6 mg and I have had zero problems.
