I stopped smoking before surgery but my urges are back and BAD! Has anyone smoked after surgery ? Any suggestions ! Helpp

Confession time! I did quit smoking before surgery and i am cheating now. i have had 2 cigarettes this week. i DOT NOT want to become a full time smoker again, but i know i'm headed for trouble just smoking occassionally. I've tried it before, and it didn't work.

Additionally, my doctor told me that should i smoke after surgery that i am running the risk of developing ulcers in my sleeve.

Good luck!

I quit cold turkey over a year ago...but my hubs used Chantix and it was great for him!

Quit long before surgery and have not given in. Its not worth it to me. My priority in life is to be healthy and move forward not to slide backwards and die early.

I quit on 1/2/13 over 2 months before surgery..I was away on vacation last week and smoked all week long but stopped when i came home... I was worried I wasnt gonna be able to stop but i made myself . I will never do that again ,I dont wanna start again ... try not to start again

Thanks everyone I'm trying to find it I don't want to put myself at risk

I currently smoke, but I'm pre op and have to quit before my surgery. I have 2 close friends that had rny and both are heavy smokers. One is absolutely fine, the other has had major issues from smoking. So it depends on the person. I for one will not take the risk by smoking post op
