I quit traditional cigarettes a year ago before I had surgery on my sinuses. The only way I was able to do that was by using an electronic cigarette. I was pretty proud of myself for getting rid of all the nasty extras that are in cigarettes. But my sleeve surgeon doesn't see it that way. She said that I had to be off nicotine or she wouldn't do the surgery. So I tapered down to 0mg in my e-cig (I was not a very pleasant person for several days). After my surgery (7/25/13)' date=' I asked my surgeon how long I had to stay off nicotine. She lectured me and said I should stay off. But I'm stubborn and I like my nicotine. She said it hinders healing, so I should wait until everything is all healed up. About 2 weeks. I am eagerly waiting for that time.

For anyone trying to quit smoking, I highly recommend investing in an electronic cigarette. And not the kind you can buy from Walgreens. Here is a picture of mine.

It is the most wonderful thing ever.[/quote']

What brand of e-cig is that? Where do you get them?

I quit a few months prior to my VSG and was smoke free for about a year and a half after that but started back up again. I've tried a few times but haven't had any luck, maybe I'll try those e-cigarettes and see how that is.

I see that you are willing to accept the health risks. That's your choice. For me, even if I could accept the risk of cancer, ulcers or damaged cells I would never use anything that is notorious for causing munchies. Not now.

I've smoked a numerous amount of times after my surgery and I haven't really had munchies , only slightly but it was fights me .

Well, I have to say this wasn't the post op conversation I was looking for, or expected but I suppose it's interesting. My Doc told me I had to quit smoking before surgery, so I did. Boom. Done. Mind over matter. I want to be healthy more than I want to smoke. Plus, it saves me about $275.00 a month, which is about $3,300.00 a year. I'll take it!

[nagem 73]

Well with those numbers that's approximately 34 packs a month , I smoke probably 8 packs a month so

I don't smoke much and I know there's risks

If I have to quit soda forever, I'm pretty sure that cigarettes are a no-no. And I won't comment on the other.
