Can I smoke Black and Milds cigars before bariatric surgery? I don't inhale.

I strongly recommend you to avoid smoking Black and Milds or any tobacco products before bariatric surgery, even if you don’t inhale. Smoking can increase the risk of surgical complications, affect anesthesia, and slow down healing due to reduced blood circulation. After a gastric sleeve or bypass, smoking also raises the risk of developing stomach ulcers, which can cause pain, bleeding, or perforation. Additionally, nicotine increases the risk of blood clots, which is already a concern for bariatric patients. Therefore, it is necessary to quit at least four to six weeks before surgery to reduce these risks.

Hello, I hope you are well. Smoking cessation is recommended before any surgical procedure for a few weeks since it is linked to pulmonary risks as well as surgical site wound infection. I would not recommend you conusming nocotinic substances in any way. Hope this answer was useful.

Hello, we recommend you make a pause 2 weeks before surgery, and after surgery we recommend 1 month.

Any type of smoking even if it is occasional, has to be stooped before any weight loss procedure. Even trough you are not inhaling tobacco, just by placing the cigar in your mouth, you absorb some of the nicotine and chemicals associated with tobacco, and as you know those chemicals have systemic effects, including cardiovascular changes that can increase blood pressure or increase chances of a pulmonary embolism.

Smoking before bariatric surgery is very dangerous and should always be avoided even if you don’t inhale.
