    Dermatologists: Leaders in the ANTZ parade

    Like I said, I did not stop my 2 PAD habit for this surgery last time. I'm on disability and this has nothing to do with vanity. It's to ward off a potential "we have to operate again" because of a necrotic flap that has to be redone and I get stuck with the bill for the doctor and...

    Dermatologists: Leaders in the ANTZ parade

    Thanks for the replies. I may try to drastically reduce my nic for a month. We'll see. What's crazy about smokers is their GP can preach about cancer and they keep smoking but if it's elective cosmetic surgery many are so motivated for a good outcome, they stop smoking. Out of sight, out of mind.

    Dermatologists: Leaders in the ANTZ parade

    ________ I had the MOHS procedure also - same thing this upcoming procedure. It was very deep. I was called back in two more times so he could cut deeper until no cancer cells remained. Read any plastic surgeons site, they don't like nicotine. Your doctor was an exception and irresponsible...

    Sorry, cancer is not an elective procedure. Slow growing or not it's still cancer. Medicare covers 100%. If you let BCC go long enough the operation could be a much worse scenario. It takes a while to grow but it is growing. "OP is probably mad they'll make him take off his foil hat, too. I...

    Dermatologists: Leaders in the ANTZ parade

    I think the face is where smoking really works against you. Not as much in other areas. Still, a boob job or tummy tuck or other procedures might not happen if you smoke. Reputable PS's don't want their work to look bad because someone uses nicotine. Also, there is a chance of pneumonia...

    Dermatologists: Leaders in the ANTZ parade

    No, you're right. I said dermatologists but my dermatologist has no problem removing it, the plastic surgeon is the one that's concerned. I have a scar from the first operation that may have shown less if I wasn't a smoker. Also skin tissue can die (I don't know the right word for that) and...

    Dermatologists: Leaders in the ANTZ parade

    I was still smoking in 2009 when I had skin cancer removed from my nose by a specialized dermatologist and then a plastic surgeon to patch things up. Plastic surgeons do NOT want to work on smokers or vapers or patchers or anything else. I'm about to have another tumor removed in March. He...

    Vaping Boba's Bounty

    AVE recommends 2 drops of distilled water to 30ml. You won't lose flavor and it works. It has for me.

    My doctors "patient portal" mistake

    I don't smoke. Why didn't I think of that? Some people never go to the doctor and are fine. Some die young. If I didn't see my doctor I'd be dead three times over.

    The most loseable piece in your collection

    I use a Provari 2.5 24/7. Well, 16/7. Anyway, I finally picked up a 'tank ring' in an attempt to make my device look good like cheaper devices. You know? Like my Vamo. :ohmy: They should have called it the roll under ring or maybe the Provari toupee. It takes a while to remember this thing...

    My doctors "patient portal" mistake

    My doctor has a site where you can see all of your appts, physical results, book appts, lab work, etc. I saw his P.A. this past April for a stomach problem. I just went back to the site today because I have a physical scheduled for next week and wanted to look at past appts. I told his P.A...

    John Lennon - 34 years ago tonight. Even with a wrecked memory, I remember everything about that night and the next day. If you stand for peace in this world you get killed. It's a long list.

    Drummer. 43 years. My first gig was a New Years Eve gig! Old dance hall 8 miles from the nearest small town. $3 at the door - we pulled in $900 that night. I could not believe I could get paid for doing something I loved so much. Just taking care of business.
