I’m getting gastric sleeve 12/28/2020 I vaped weed 2 times on 11/24 but that’s all I’m 255 pounds do you think this will be a problem. I don’t smoke or drink other than that.
My surgeon wants me to take a drug test for a year. I don’t believe that isn’t necessary. I haven’t smoked in 6 months and I’m not a regular smoker. How can I persuade him to not put this general rule on me? I’ve worked too hard to have my surgery be prolonged.
Hello, is it the nicotine or just smoking in general? I am not big on nicotine, but i like to just have basically a no nicotine vape, for the flavor & stuff. Can i atleast still do that?
the nicotine is not the main problem. is all the other junk that they put on cigarettes. unfortunately, the vape also has other unknown substances that are causing serious side effects. I will recommend that you don't do either.
I've been a smoker for the last 18 years, im currently on the patch on 17mg of nicotine. Do I have to be completely off the patch, or can I continue using the patch.
i saw a other video that said if u smoke cigarettes u should stop 4 weeks before and 8 weeks after bcus it can affect healing, cause infections and clots
America was founded on the old English language. There are still American speaking citizens and most do not want to learn Spanish. I speak some Spanish but still learning. It just makes sense to have these videos in English. Good luck!
Hope you enjoyed the video. If you have any questions feel free to post them below.

you might need to get a second opinion. not many surgeons like to bend their own rules or protocols
What about marijuana? ESP afterwards it may help with Pain and increase appetites

@@dr.angelcabanmd what about cannabis
I'm having bypass for hiatal hernia not weight loss would just the hernia repair be better
Can you consume cannabis after suggesting?
Hi Dr. Caban
Question what about Cigars?
I dont know of any studies regarding just cigars... if you don't inhale the smoke of the cigar I don't think I should cause much issues.
I've been a smoker for the last 18 years, im currently on the patch on 17mg of nicotine. Do I have to be completely off the patch, or can I continue using the patch.
the patch is ok
That's cute but I can't quite Hookah but I'll do less of it
What about the people who do smoking occasionally or one or two cigarettes a day?
i saw a other video that said if u smoke cigarettes u should stop 4 weeks before and 8 weeks after bcus it can affect healing, cause infections and clots
2 weeks before
So 2 weeks is bad doctor
good morning doctor what about a pipe or cigars where you don't inhale the smoke
I haven't seen any data on that. Is mainly cigarettes
How long do you have to quit before
My doc said 90days
@@JannieMette of course he is going to say that, all you need is 2 weeks.
@@luiskaponi6777 I quit a month ago but slipped up n smoked 2 cigarettes...my nicotine test is in 8 days...do you think I'll pass?
@@NoName-pu5ls you good dont smoke nothing for 7 days. To be honest you can have one cigarette a day and won't raise your nicotine levels.
I wish all these videos where in Spanish
check DR Alvarez
It’s cigars though not cigarettes wtf
Wow, maybe their is a reason why people gain weight without over eating !
