Im done my ops on 2/1. I'm a hardcore smoker. 4 days after surgery, I smoke half stick and felt stomach ache. Is it the signs to stop smoking? LOL

They are letting you have the surgery knowing that you smoke?

My doctor wont, My insurance wont cover any benefits either if you smoke.

Ok so you quit before surgery and started again 4 days after? This will impede healing time tremendously.

I do hope that you are able to stop for good. Mind over matter

You run a high risk of causing ulcers, necrotic tissue, not healing properly. You need to stop now, why go through life altering surgery to get healthy and wreck it all with the cancer sticks

You really need some nicotine patches to help you quit. Non smokers don't get the addiction side of smoking and it is more involved than just doing it. I quit using Alan Carrs quit smoking now book, smoked from 13 then at 36 read that book and couldn't wait to get to the end of it to stop! No grieving the loss of the cigs at all. You aren't allowed to quit until you finish the book either, believe it or not lol. Good luck.

It's NOT WORTH IT! Stop it! You're going to damage everything you went through and hope to accomplish in the future just to smoke? Didn't they tell you that you couldn't smoke afterwards? Please don't do it. Stop smoking.
