Sorry to ask girls but do any of you smoke or have smoked before / after op ? i no its an awful habit ….. but i feel i may struggle? ive hear it slows the healing process down advise needed my ops october
I stopped smoking for 2 weeks prior to my op in August and I haven’t smoked since and I’m 5 weeks post op now, I would defs try and stop just so you heal quicker and easier then if you wanted you could always start again x
I dont think i can do it steph 🙁 ive tried so many time i so want to tho 🙁 if i get my holiday over with and ill have 2 weeks after before my op ill so try again but i worry that i cant stop and i wont heal or have complications im 44 and smoked since 13 🙁 xx
I would really try your best to stop before before and after for as long as possible as all of the reserach shows that it does impair the healing process.
Having surgery a few years ago was actually the reason that made me stop smoking because I wanted to heal well and I have never started again so its a win win situation

The thought of developing necrosis (Google pics) was enough to make me quit. It also kills your white blood cells so your scars can end up awful. Good luck
thanks for advise girls im so going to try very very hard as i do want to quit my partner is also going to try and this will be better too. xx thanks jackie ill add you if you dont mind huni x
Hey Hun I stopped 1 week before but that was due to the fact I had such a quick turnover 2 weeks before is advised and 6 weeks after at 5 weeks po I was back on them :-O but I plan to stop again! I can do it just get bored plus I read an article saying as long as you give up by 30 it should have no long term affect on your health (probably complete rubbish) so I thought I’d fit in a few extra weeks of the dirty habit pmsl good luck with what ever you decide 🙂 xx
