I quit smoking yesterday, as dr. garcia said I needed to 2 weeks before surgery. quitting has actually made me feel more capable of following through with the rest of the "rules" I will need to follow through on after surgery..

Awesome! It's very very important to quit smoking for any surgery, as nicotine and reduced oxygen supply both adversely affect wound healing.

Me too!! My dr requires smoke free for 3 months! This is what I need to help me quit

I have to tell you.. it's not as bad as I was anticipating.the world hasn't ended. I am uncomfortable but I am going to survive! The surgery being the motivator I think has made it easier.. good luck!

I decided to quit one month prior to my consultation. Doing it early really helped me.

My surgeon requires one month, so tomorrow is my quit day. I got the okay of using gum or Patches.

Congrats!! I quit about 8 years ago when I had breast reduction surgery. I had to use Chantix because my surgeon said NO nicotine at all...not even Patches or gum. Haven't smoked since. One of the best things I've ever done. I still have moments, 8 years later, where I think about smoking but the smell turns me off totally plus when I was quitting the last one I smoked made me SUPER sick and I never want to feel like that again! Best wishes to you!! You can totally do it!

Congrats!!!!

Quitting smoking was my first step to the sleeve surgery. I'm 8 months smoke free now and had my surgery 5/24. Best 2 things I could have done for myself.

Really happy for all of you who've quit smoking.

Such a good thing!
