I'm a little under 3 months for what I call "snatched Day" and it's so hard quitting smoking. I will go a week straight then mess up by smoking 1 and repeat that cycle. I've been doin this for a month now but I NEED to quit please help I need to stop completely NOW

Try to get the patch because if labs detects you been smoking she will NOT touch you and it's going to be a waste of your time and added expense on your part. Duran is really strict and honestly I can appreciate that. She has your well being before anything else. I saw it first hand several days ago. I girl was scheduled to have surgery on Monday the 23rd and she sent the girl home only because she couldn't stop smoking.

So if you really want this then you have to make that sacrifice. Just think of the way your body is going to look.

Best of luck

Omg how long does it take to not show in my blood work??? I'm 75 days way!!! I will definitely use that as a motivation to stop.

I'm telling you stop now... I know it's hard. I'm not a smoker but I can imagine. Since you are a smoker I want to say her cardiologist will make you take a stress test. The stress test is running on the treadmill and it will test your endurance. Just bring extra cash. That test cost about $95 and just in case she has you take the echo that's going to be like another $95, believe me she only has your well-being in mind . maybe Any other doctors wouldn't care but she does. Honestly you could have not picked up at the doctor, honestly you could have not picked up at the doctor. Just imagine how beautiful your body is going to look after all this is done. I'm still recovering it's my 3rd day.

Best of luck to you hon

Awwww congrats and thank you I'm def stopping. I was reading and they said drink lots of water and that gets it out ur system faster and help ur body recover quicker from the nicotine. So I'm going to def stick with this

Hi Hon,
Yep, a gallon a day and start taking iron 325mg it's soo important. I came here with my hemoglobin at 14.4 and I left the hospital it being at 10.9. Although I was at a safe level you can see how much it dropped. If it goes below 8 you might have to get a blood transfusion. Stop smoking, a lot of water, iron and along with all your recommended vitamins you'll be good but try to find out what's your hemoglobin is now so you know what you're starting with.

I've been meaning to ask what part of NY you live in?

I'm going through the same thing with the smoking I feel like I have quit but I still mess like up. When I first quit I was waiting sugar free cherry ricola throat drops and that kinda helped with the cravings but I just need to completely stop. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Also try not to use nicotene gums or patches because the nicotene itself prevents your body from healing

10-20 days out your blood 4-6 days out of your pee and 90 days for organs to repair itself upto 70% (depend on how hard of a smoker you are)

Travel with tummy tuck drainage in?

User Avatar
Sue06
So I'm on a few FB groups and I was just told I may not be able to travel with my drainages in due to risk and complications. I will like to know if this is true? What are the complications have you dolls heard of and what are the risk? I can only stay for 8 days

This is a good question but how many days do we keep the drain? Don't they remove the drain before we leave? Ask a sur g eon here on reallslf
October 14, 2015
this is true, DR change the stay from 10 days to 2 weeks, so plan on staying 2 weeks or u have to get a discharge from dram saying its ok for u to leave, if not they are turning ppl around in the airport.
