Any vapors out there?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone still vapes after surgery? Do you use nicotine? How long did you wait after surgery to start again?

Vaping is just as bad as smoking. Nicotine is extremely dangerous to use after surgery. I wish you would consider quitting!!

You could get an ulcer for sure and trust me you don’t want that.

Plus vaping- it’s just not sexy.

I tried it without nicotine it was absolutely disgusting to me. I sold all my mods and got rid of everything. I don’t feel the need to smoke or vape at all. It’s how you feel. And if someone who has never vaped before tells you to quit just ignore it. But nicotine is extremely dangerous to use after surgery.

It can cause an ulcer. And ulcers are very painful and most of the time will need surgery to remove

I do! I started up again just a few days after surgery. Probably not the best idea, but I'm at 0-3mg.

I've quit smoking by Vaping for two and a half months now and have been slowly trying to wean myself onto 0mg nicotine. The nicotine is bad for you as it affects blood circulation therefor makes it harder for the wound to heal. Vaping is no way near as bad as smoking and people who say it is isn't educated on them enough, so if you used to be a smoker congratulations on making the switch.

Surgery due January 10th 2018

Just want to say first, no judgements here, I smoked. Then went to vaping 4 yrs ago... Vaped for 3 yrs. When I decided to have surgery I quit vaping. Just because they said they will test you all the up to surgery date for nicotene and would not do surgery if they found nicotine. I wanted surgery more than nicotene. Its hard but I completely understand and yes vaping is healthier than smoking . we all have it in our minds if we smoke we won't gain weight well lol we are all here having surgery because we did gain weight lol so don't think that you have to go back to smoking to keep it off ....they told us life change that meant eating right...exercise....not smoking ..ect......becoming that new you. What a reward to give yourself!!!!!!!

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

      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! 😞
