Good Morning Army! Beautiful day here too! I'm in the process of moving down to Zero Nic, doctor's orders. I have to be off the Nic for at least a month before my surgery on November 24th. Vaping 6mg for a month now and have an order in for some 3mg and 0mg, yikes!
I tell ya, Heather's ejuice makes it easier. The lower the Nic, the better it tastes lol
What are you having surgery for?
I never volunteered that I vaped before my colon resection. Even stealth vaped in the hospital occasionally.
There are conflicting reports on whether or not nicotine is a vascular constrictor. On the one hand, it's said that it constricts blood flow. Yet on the other hand, they say it opens blood flow to cancer cells causing them to multiply rapidly.
I think it depends on whom has the agenda at any given point and time.
I do agree, somewhat, with smoking being bad before surgery. Somewhat. As I know that smoking does rob the brain of oxygen. Proof for me was that lightheaded-ness I would get after not having a cig for a very long time then smoking one.
I smoked when I had previous surgeries (gall bladder and a couple of others) I wasn't supposed to but I did. Vaping is not the same.
I'm just saying that some in the medical profession equate them as the same. Would they let you use the patch or gum? Or are they saying no nic whatsoever? If they allow the patch or gum.... There is certainly a non understanding of what vaping is.
Good luck! Keep us posted!
