Postpone and do it the way your Dr suggests. Why take chances with your life by not sacrificing a month for your body's sake.

It's more what u do before surgery to prepare your body to sustain life during surgery. Afterwards, the smoking, sure is always bad for your health, but not as detrimental going into surgery. Please for the sake of your kids and the quality of life you deserve and are aiming for, postpone it till you shake your body from as much toxins as possible. Love what you are doing for yourself and for the ones around you that benefit by having you in their life as a happier person. I wish more guys would do this. (((Hugs!)))
