I dont know what im more concerned about the Operation or the needle to knock me out….. Ive got Mr Singh in London on the 20th and ive got to give up smoking this is the only thing keeping me sane can someone please tell me if this really does make a huge difference I know its bad for you I just think its the only thing that makes me a little calm when I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest xx

    • Hey hun, you’ll be fine don’t worry.
      What are you having done. I’m 3 weeks post op from an uplift and i’m a smoker too. I cut down a lot before and had a few puffs on day of admission. After admission, I didn’t smoke for 5 days. You’ll probably feel like you won’t want to smoke after.
      So far, i’m healing beautifully with no complaints or complications. I’m not recommending or condoning, it’s up to you at the end of the day. I don’t think it’s as bad as they make out but everybody’s body is different, especially with healing.
      I think that sometimes cutting out your stress relief can do more damage!! Good luck x
