Any smokers/vapers PO please?

So I quit nicotine 2 weeks prior to surgery as advised by my dr fiumara and dropped to 0% e liquid, then after my op I haven’t smoked anything because I was told not to risk it. My question is, when did you go back to smoking or Vaping if you did? I’m a much happier person with nicotine in my life ????

I went back to smoking about 3dpo I felt pretty sick and bloated so didn’t fancy it xx

Hi! I literally had a cigarette as soon as I walked out of the hospital!! Oops!!! But the next day I felt pretty out of it as Alice said so didn’t smoke a great deal! x

@kate262 did you quit before your op?! x

My ops Tuesday I’m still smoking hoping to stop tomo though. Did anyone have a uplift as well xx

@jordan- no!!!! I had one on the car park before I went in haha oops!!!! Surgeon wasn’t too pleased but he told me the risks and it was my choice!!!! Xx

@kate262 mine said to me “id like that to be no cigarettes by the time I operate” but didn’t say I actually have to quit? Id be horrendous trying to quit so was just wondering if it’s something you like have to do xx

Who is your surgeon? I had Mr Netri. I know some surgeons do nicotine tests but luckily my nurse told me mr Netri doesn’t!!!! I think it’s more the anesthetist ( mine gave me a funny look when I said I’d had my last one at 4am before I was admitted at 11am) xx

I was advised to quit nicotine 4 weeks prior to surgery and at least 3 weeks after. I am now 2 weeks post and i am about to break down!! I need nicotine in my life but too scared from the risks especially that i had a lift as well not only augmentation, so ive got so many stitches that i still haven’t removed and everyone is scaring me about the wound healing and tissue dying from nicotine and nipples falling. Is that true or are they exaggerating? When did everyone of you quit and go back to nicotine?

I have my surgery booked next week Thursday and finding it so difficult to even quit! Cut down a fair bit though.. did you stop 3 weeks pre op?x

You supposed to stop 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after. Nicotine slows downs the healing process because there is less oxygen in the blood. Which can cause problems like infections. But few of my friends had it done and they never stopped.
My op is in 6 weeks, so I started using 0% nicotine ecig liquid and so far im ok on it 🙂

@barlin i quit exactly 26 days before my surgery, i went cold turkey, no 0% nicotine vape also, avoided being around any smokers as well as advised by my surgeon coz passive smoking is just as dangerous as first hand smoking. I tried being a good girl as much as possible, my first week of quitting was hell, i was hoing crazy like heroine addicts, had fights with almost every one hahaha then the physical cravings got better but the psychological ones are still hitting me. First week after surgery i was in sooooooooo much pain like i was dying and was talking to myself “what did i get myself into, i so regret this” coz aside from the surgery itself i had so many other complications from the anesthesia and infections from the urine bag and antibiotics!! And that’s how much pain i was in so didn’t really think about anything except to get rid of my pain. After that week i started feeling myself again and myself needs a fag. So i am wondering if i can go back to smoking now. I am 16 dpo

I had my last cigarette the night before my op and was honest with the nurses the next day they didn’t say anything about it tbh, surgeon didn’t even ask me on the day. I’m now 11dpo and had one last night coz I was so stressed with a family issue! Not had once since tho figured if I have gone this far already see how long I can go lol! Saw the nurse yesterday to have bandages off and she said I’m healing really well x

@lindsey i an glad you are. I cant wait to go back to my normal rate of smoking which is like a pack a day haha i know that’s too much but I’ve already done my part and quit before and after surgery for the period specified by my surgeon so i deserve to pamper myself as well

@lindsey Who was your op with Hun? Trouble is apparently some surgeons do a nicotine test and some don’t, just hope I don’t get turned down for the op! But well done to you! You’ve done really well!

@lamis yeah I know what you mean lol you do deserve to treat yourself x

@barlin it was done through Mya my surgeon was Dr Mounir. He only mentioned about giving up at my consultation with him. It was only the nurse filling in my paper work who asked if I had still not smoked, but had no tests thank god lol! I’ve had an op at my local hospital before nothing like this but don’t remember them telling me to quit but I suppose the hospitals have to cover themselves x

@lindsey – Same only time my surgeon told me was during my first consultation with him, and I then had my pre op appointment with the nurse who told me to quit 2 weeks before.. have my surgery booked with dr jalalli on Thursday! Not long now!! X

I don’t smoke but I do vape & my surgeon was Dr netri & he doesn’t do nicotine tests xxx

I have my op 16th feb I smoke roughly 5 a day it’s so hard to quit completely ???? is it two weeks before or four weeks before as I’m getting confused???

@danielle it depends on your doctor. Mine said 4 weeks before and 3-4 after. Another girl was told 2 weeks before and 2 after. And another was told 2 before and 6 after so it is confusing. Just ask your nurse or doctor they know better your case

@lamis thank you I should have my pre op soon so I can ask the nurse then, how soon before your operation did you have your pre op and when did you order your mya bras?
