Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Wow, my surgeon refuses to operate if I haven't quit smoking 6 weeks before my date. My aunt didn't quit smoking before her RNY and almost died twice during the surgery. You're a brave soul. I will be praying for you. -- smoking ok so i smoke, now what, jesus pls help?been nervous and only mthing getting me thru this i think, ???? and im so wound for sound its unreal, surgery tomarrow 7am pst!!! william 388/?/200 surgery 8/13/03 7am pst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Beverly, I appreciate your answer and your support. I am trying really hard. Re: Smoking Welcome to the group, my friend. I am a smoker, and smoke much more than you do. I keep trying to quit, and one day I will succeed. But I am a new post-op,and I did encounter some complications due to the cigarettes. I have now been diagnosed with COPD, and I spent 2 days in ICU because of breathing difiulties and low oxygen saturation levels. Cigarettes and anesthesia can have funny interactions, and of course it would be best not to be smoking. But if you are, please be honest with the medical staff so that they can be prepared in case you need extra support to get through the surgery without major problems. Best wishes for your upcoming surgery, Beverly LAP RNY 7/31/03 265/246/160 > Hi all, > > I will be having my surgery on September 5th.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I smoked up until the morning of my surgery which was 8/12/3. I have not smoked since that morning and will do my best to try and not go back to smoking. kerri & pat wrote: > Was just wondering if or how many of you wls looser.. smoked > before the surgery? and how long before did you stop and did you > start back afterwards.. looking to hear all the yelling.. thanks in > advance > > kerri k. > 354 /pre op > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
