Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 OK, how many of you out there had to quit smoking for the surgery? I know I have to quit and I was wondering if any of you have any tips on how to do this and anything that helped you. I know quitting smoking is necessary for health reasons no matter what, but moreso for this surgery. I just need to understand all the reasons. I am thinking it has something to do with calcium needs, plus having clear lungs for the surgery. Give me some pep talks, reasons (regarding surgery specifically) and methods used. I know there is a prescription one can take to supposedly help. Did anyone use this? Or am I the only one who has this nasty habit and has to get rid of it?
