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!!!!!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
