I am having surgery tomorrow and my instructions say no smoking before the surgery. Does anyone know if it's OK to vape before and after? I really want my NT by my side!
Vaping and surgery?

You could cape 0mg juice for sure. I'm sure they want active nicotine out of your blood which usually takes around 24 hours.
I had surgery in May. I vaped on the way to the hospital for the surgery. They made me stay overnight and I vaped in the bathroom of my room (there is no way to sleep in a hospital). But, yea, they don't want nicotine in your system....
I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question but may your surgery go smoothly and you heal quickly, Chilicat. *hugs*
Never thought I would be wishing I had near 0 in my juice collection. I might have to head over to a local BM for some zero. It won't ever be as good as NT but it can't hurt to have some on hand.
Thanks! It is outpatient so at least I won't have to stay! But since I quit smoking, I'm a major chain vaper!
Same from me!! Best wishes my dear!! And nicotine is a vasso-constrictor so I would avoid nicotine but if in doubt ask your anesthesiologist when he/she calls tonight. Personally it's better to vape than smoke... Fast healing!!! *HUGS*
I'm a big baby! Don't eat or drink, no problem! Don't vape, not a happy camper! What can I say, I love vaping. Even more so, I love vaping NT juice.
I don't know the answer to your question, but wanted to wish you well 57chillcat 
If you find that 0 Nic is ok with your doctor and you don't have a B&M nearby, you can get a bottle of pure VG at Walmart for under $3.00 by the band-aids and rubbing alcohol, no nic in it - no real taste, either tho. But totally vapeable.
Good Luck - hope to see you back posting right after!

I took my devices and vapid in the hospital for 4 days. Nurses and doctor thought it was fine. My poor wife though had to keep batteries charged up for me the entire time. No issues or orders from doc prior to surgery to quit gaping.
So, since you're just up the road from me I took the liberty of looking up for you a local place lol. The royal vapor which is in Allen seems to carry some of the juices you might buy online. I'm not a fan of five pawns - tried it and didn't like it. But, there's a local company in dallas that's been making stuff that's considered specialty and they are called Vape Dads. If you like fruits, theirs aren't bad. I tried the Isla Mujeres one at the local store here in Dallas when I was looking for stuff as a gift. They make 0 nic. Just a thought. In my experience, the stores that sell their own "custom" blends tend to taste like crap to me which is why I'm in love with NT! But, vape dad's juices are pretty good when you need something quick. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with your surgery!
I know exactly what you mean!!! I can do without anything but don't tell me not to vape! That's why I took my little EVOD Twist with me. It was tough to hide in those stupid gowns they made me wear, but where there is will, there is a way!
Good luck. At least you don't have to stay!! That's a good thing!

I was still smoking when I had my surgery and it was an outpatient thing too and the first thing I did when I got home was smoke...vaping can't be worse than that!! 
Thanks for all the responses! NT is the best family ever! Just got back from the BM, we have 6 here in McKinney, but none are the quality of NT! Picked up some sour cherry in 0 nic. I've been wanting to move my way down to 6 for quite a while now, so the next few days will definitely tell my body if I'm ready! Hope hubby can stand me at 0 nic! If nothing else, I can use this up chain vaping before I go to sleep at night! You guys are the best!
I think as soon as you get home from the surgery you can hit your regular vape and at the cutoff for water and food you should switch to 0 but you don't have to make yourself (and your hubby
) suffer too long!! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts!!
Thanks! I picked some up here in McKinney. Crazy, when I smoked, nothing could keep me from having a CIG before a surgery in the past! Yep, I was that crazy lady with my IV outside so I could smoke! But I am taking my smallest battery and my 0 nic so I can vape right before they put me under!!!! Now I'll be that loopy lady vaping!

I will be back to my 12 in no time! As for making my hubby crazy, I thought that was just part of being married for 35 years! Gotta say, I have a real keeper. He doesn't say a word when my purple package comes in the mail. He's just happy I'm not smoking!
Lurch, that is so funny! They really do need to make hospital gowns with pockets for vaping gear! I vote for gowns with NT logos! Which reminds me, we really need some NT caps and T-shirts!!!!
