so.....other than the munchies, does anyone know of the risks of smoking or vaping after the sleeve? I don't smoke very much but I do enjoy it from time to time. what have you guys heard or know about smoking after surgery?

Thanks.

Not too long ago, someone else asked the same thing.. you might want to do a search because there were quite a few responds. I believe that there are many that do it without any bad affects.

I read a study that concluded that smokin' the devils lettuce after wls would make you a skinny retard playing video games in your mamas basement not a fat one. Just kidding , but having loads of experience [back in college]why torment yourself with the munchies during the losing phase,maybe that could be a non food reward for meeting goals.I know potheads aren't supposed to have goals just sayin ,if you had goals and that sort of thing was legal where you live.

Fer cryin' out loud... little weed won't kill ya. Wish y'all wouldn't smoke it though. Vape it. Eat it. Make capsules. Just don't smoke!

I agree that the smoke inhalation is the most detrimental issue.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
