I'm 6 months out. And I want to know when can we smoke or was it forever. ?

I use to smoke hookah pens and Marijuana. .

My Dr also only asked me to stop 1 sau pre-op and 2weeks post op to help with healing. ..

My surgeon would not operate until I quit. Haven't had a cigarette since December 13th. Quit cold turkey. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. But I haven't had a cig since. I want one every day but I agree with making a change. Won't go back. Good luck to you.

Thanks for posting this topic. We are supose to be supportive and non judgmental please

Can I just say I hate it when people ask a fucking question and then act like people are being judgmental when they answer it??

Smoke your cigarettes to your little hearts content. Enjoy your higher chance of cancer, heart disease, ulcers, COPD...

It's a good thing you had weight loss surgery to become healthier, at least!

And a doctor with a "non judgemental" answer about smoking?? Good luck with that. I smoked for 25 years, and EVERYTHING that ailed me was blamed on smoking by my doctors. They don't judge smokers, they just present facts according to science and research. If you want to call that judgemental, so be it.

And if you've got a doctor who doesn't encourage you to quit, well I'm afraid they aren't doing a very good job of being a doctor.

So just stop asking the question in a public forum where you're afraid of being judged when you already know what the damn answer is.

Jeez.

This was more towards smoking marijuana and was posted months ago but thanks... and the answer was yes I can smoke and do smoke.

Wow... Some anger here on this topic... It is amazing how mad people get over other people's choices. I don't smoke but I certainly am not going to be rude to anyone especially since I have a food addiction just like everyone else here. Wouldn't that make me a hypocrit?

FTR, everyone here doesn't have a food addiction.

Not judging.

Just reporting.

Marijuana makes me hungry so that is a huge reason I wouldn't do it again. I think op was referring to electronic cigs.

Well I would assume that anyone who needed wls had some sort of food addiction or they wouldn't have needed surgery-right? Unless they're immobile due to a handicapped or something I can't imagine that obesity came from anything other than a FOOD addiction... Not judging just saying

Oops handicap not handicapped

Yeah, no.

I hope you will find the discussion of obesity and its causes at this link educational:

I was sleeved May 2014. My surgeon required I quit smoking or he would not do the surgery. He tested my blood to ensure there was no nicotine present. I quit smoking December 2013 and haven't picked up a cigarette since. Besides the surgery, best decision I made.
