My surgeon will NOT do surgery on any type of nicotine in the lab test! He's done over 1,500 WLS and has seen ulcers that can be life threading way too many times.... Perhaps he can help u beat the addiction with accupunture or other methods? I would ask! Good luck.. U have time pre operatively?

I was a smoker too until a week before my surgery, my doc did not test for nicotine but I decided that I was ready to kick the habit byway. Surgery went well with no complications. I'm home on day 3 and feeling wonderful! Controlled pain and drinking my Water which is slowly getting easier. I'm struggling with the Protein Shakes. I wish you best of luck!

Yea I've read a few people didn't have to stop smoking, I guess it really depends on the surgeon and their requirements. Congrats on your surgery glad to hear that everything went well.

I totally forgot about a woman I know who has GP and was a heavy smoker before and after surgery. She was in such poor health and did not take good care of herself that she lost ALL her hair and got a massive infection internally. I now believe it had everything to do with her smoking habit.

Yes it affects the healing process that's why many surgeons won't operate if you smoke, and the insurance won't approve you also so better to stop for the best!

I'm on Zyban and the patch, I still have nicotine in my blood... I'm bringing my bottle and Patches prescription with me to show them that's what I'm on and not smoking! I hope they don't test me though!

Quitting smoking was THE WORST part of my journey. My docs office had a lot of issues with my auth... and I was like. Take this fat girl, tell me stop eating AND stop smoking.... but keep throwing wrenches in my plan that makes me wanna smoke more.... finally did it! And my surgery is scheduled for MONDAY.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
