Smoking and surgery

Hi girls, I’m having my OP in 2 weeks and straggling to stop smoking. Did all of u stop before surgery???? any advice xxx

i stopped from oct had op in dec then started again in may stopped again in nov for open rhino started again in jan but giving up again as having teeth whitening its better if you siop but have know people who smoke all the way through x

I stopped the night before and started again the day after lol I only have 3-5 a day anyway and had no hope of giving up when I was solo stressed lol

I had a cheeky puff the morning of my surgery but had cut down to 2-3 a day anyway then went completely cold turkey since the op especially as I was in quite a bit of pain & just didn’t feel like it, I am now 19 days post op & struggle everyday but will not start again as it slows down your healing & I’m not healing very fast as it is..wish I’d have quit before xx

I give up for months but had few puffs over a glass of wine and few puffs after but giving up for real now as my nurse has told me it will take longer for me heal x

If you can’t fully quit, cutting down is better then nothing, smoking can effect your healing and also give you a higher risk of CC, but of you completely stopped you can do yourself lied harm then good xx
