My surgeon isn't really concerned about nicotine he told me to fine a nicotine replacement in ecig or gum but I had my urine test yesterday he tested for tobacco (anabasine I had to google it) fingers crossed. I know I haven't smoked tobacco sine may 22nd but second hand smoke IS EVERYWHERE Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just had my stress test yesterday (and I'm lived through it!) I see my cardiologist on the 22nd and them I'm off to the insurance for approval I'm hoping for late November or early December (fingers crossed!) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I agree. I'm really hoping for a 4 wk recovery and I don't even have a surgery date yet. My last test is coming up next week I'm having a stress test and I go back and see the cardiologist sept 22nd to get my cardio clearance letter and I'm thinking my paperwork will be submitted to the insurance the first of October. (I started my journey in March and I am so ready already!) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes! I have 2 friends that have had the surgery already (1 almost a year ago) and it most differently helped me decide for VSG. I was prepared to have the lap band. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm hoping for December too, I work in the school system and I'm hoping that for Christmas break as extra time for healing before going back to work (I'm a lunch lady and it is physical! A lot of heavy lifting, pulling & tugging and on the go walking in the door) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon is completely against tobacco of any kind and has even gave me a pee test checking for anabasin and will test me again the morning of surgery. He is not against nicotine and told me to choose which ever replacement I choose. I know these e cig are NOT the same but my goodness I'm thankful for them. His concern is about my new stomach leaking and explained how horrible it can be if that ever happened. He don't even want me around someone else that smokes for 8 wks after surgery and wouldn't have accepted me as a patient if my husband was a smoker Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
