March 15, 201610 yr Awesome! It's very very important to quit smoking for any surgery, as nicotine and reduced oxygen supply both adversely affect wound healing.

May 30, 201610 yr Popular Post 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! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
