Smoking

Hi all can you please tell me how long before you op you stopped smoking if there is anyone that did please.
Also I’m havung under implants heard the recovery is worse than over getting worried about how much pain I am going to be in

Hey, 4 weeks prior they say really ?

Hey hun, I didn’t end up going with MYA but I had a consultation there. I was told I needed to stop smoking at least 5 weeks before surgery and that I would get tested on the day and if it came back like high they wouldn’t operate on me? It’s to do with the healing process. I ended up going with my nearby private hospital and here again I was told to stop smoking five weeks before. I didn’t haha. All I did was cut down smoking. It’s a big thing and a nervous thing to go through and to just stop smoking all together is difficult. All I would suggest is 1 week before surgery to cut down. I ended up having 3 cigarettes a day. However where my surgery was at they didn’t test me for smoking so I was ok. I had under the muscle and everyone is so so different but I have really struggled with the pain and I’m now 3 days post op and I haven’t had a cigarette since Thursday due to my pain. Like I said everyone is so different my friend had under the muscle and she suffered with no pain at all. I’ve really struggled since I woken up from theatre. I just feel like I have bricks on my chest and getting up and getting back down is uncomfortable. I know I will get there in the end and you will too. Good luck hun ?x

Thanks hun I am havung surgery a week on Thurs but quit smoking yday so will be 1p days before op so worried that they won’t do my surgery now though although iv googled it and it says in urine for 4 days I’m a nervous wreck now worrying they won’t do it.. ???
