Re: 11 days and counting -smoker-any advice?
Hi. I'm a smoker and I have smoked for many years. I've also tried (unsuccessfully) many times to quit. I had my TLH Wednesday. I had no complications from smoking during my surgery, but every person is different. It's obviously best that you quit if you can beforehand, however, if you don't you can ask for the patch in the hospital during your stay. I did cut down tremendously in the week before surgery and went from a pack a day to 4 or 5 a day. I'm still not smoking as much as I was and hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of smoking for me. Good Luck and stay strong!!!!
