Salam all,

Any sleevers that smoke hooka?

When can u do hokka after surgery?

Lmao i do!!! i am guilty of smoking the hooka one week after surgery... what can i say, i love it... i still smoke hooka once a day sometimes twice... they say that it makes losing weight slower and results in loose skin but no i dont see that i am losing weight consistently and my skin is normal well a little saggy but it is getting better with every stall...

At our support group mtg, someone there commented about smoking and asked why we arent supposed to smoke. My surgeon said the reason is because if you smoke post sleeve, there is a 100% chance that you will get a stomach ulcer. Just passing that along....

Justme, some people go back to smoking cigs and whatever as well, i have noticed on other threads....so hooka smokers are less likely to do damage a) its not easy to grab like cigs, it has to be prepared with Water and hot coals B) hooka is not addictive like cigs or cigars or pot. I have smoked once since my surgery in two months, unlike cig smokers who light up every ten minutes.

Therefore, you cannot develop an ulcer from smoking a hooka like a one pack a day cig smoker. :)

My son really wanted to order ****** last night, New Year's Eve.....but I don't want him to get addicted, so I vetoed his request. I don't need a new addiction either....it's enough giving up food lol

Hi

As I mentioned earlier I had my surgery on 9 Dec 2012 and recently I started noticing that I am getting some kind of allergic reaction. After I am done with my meal my face, neck, shoulders and chest start itching me and red spots would appear.

I tried to monitor what kind of food is giving me this allergic reaction but I failed to point it. I never had any kind of allergy neither from food nor medicines throughout my life.

I would like to hear an advice or a similar story or maybe an opinion on what to be done.

      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!!
