Yeah, that must be brutal for the smokers huh?

What's worse.... Having nicotine in your system or being totally on edge and stressed on surgery day?

John....

I smoked weed every day before and after the surgery, nothing too unusual happened

They say it screws with the results and healing time... did u notice anything to do with those things?

I got my surgery about 5 weeks ago, there was no burses or excess bleeding,  its now much better then it was before but not perfect yet. I will have to wait longer to see the final results

monzo - one of the many questions your PS should have asked you is if you're a smoker.  

If your PS didn't ask you, then maybe the warnings about not smoking prior to surgery are not necessarily true. But I'zz got a feeling they are. :-/

I suppose statistically you're not likely to have complications, but smoking increases your chances for the reasons many others have already stated on these boards.

I went for an appointment... and next thing I know im swipping my Visa and my surgery is in 5 days. otherwise I would have quit . I cut down lots and then quit a day and a half b4.. im due in 10:40 hours and mins.. im gonna try to quit while healing tho... I know if affects healing time 4sure.
