  1. Heillo everyone!, I was just on the site reading so many replies and testemonials, the before and after videos were a huge help, I was just wondering is there anyone out there that is a smoker and if so what were the guidelines prior to surgery and have your cigarette smoking habits changed at all, I have decided to go ahead and submit my application tomorrow, I figured thats I have nothing to loose and that perhaps the surgeon could give me more info. on helping me choose whats best for me. I wish you all the best of luck.

      My initial consultation with my surgeon gave me the strength to quit. I had been trying halfheartedly, but realized that I was making one step to improve my health and I needed to quit smoking as well.I am now proud to say after 35 years of smoking I have quit for the past 3 weeks and I don't crave smoking.

      Good luck on your journey!

      My surgeon won't do the surgery unless you can prove you've been cig free for 6 weeks (they check via bloodtest) because the risks of smoking before and after bariatric surgery include life-threatening ulcers. I would highly recommend quitting if you can!

      You will have to quit and vow to never smoke again or the surgeon will not operate. It better for you in the long run anyway.
