Hello I am 27. I started smoking around 3 months ago, I never though that i have to stop smoking before any surgery. no one asked if i smoke. Since i haven't been smoking for a long time, will that affect my healing? I will stop smoking today which is Aug 28th 2015. I am going to have my surgery around Sep 10. I am very anxious, Sep is my month off work and if i haven't done the surgery by then, i will have to wait till next year. I will delay my surgery if that will ruin the procedure. Thanks
