Why Quitting Is So Important When Considering Weight Loss Surgery

Smoking is a major health concern, and its negative effects are well-documented. In addition to the risks of developing cancer and other smoking-related diseases, smokers also have a higher rate of complications after surgery. For this reason, many bariatric surgeons require their patients to quit smoking before having surgery.There are a number of reasons why quitting smoking is so important for weight loss surgery patients. First, smoking can interfere with wound healing, which can lead to infections and other complications. Second, smoking increases the risk of blood clots, which can be dangerous after surgery. Finally, smokers tend to have lower success rates with weight loss surgery than nonsmokers. Quitting smoking before surgery gives patients the best chance for a successful outcome.There are many resources available to help people quit smoking, and bariatric surgeons can often provide referrals to smoking cessation programs. For some people, prescription medications may be necessary to help them kick the habit. However, there are also a number of over-the-counter options that can be effective, such as nicotine replacement products like patches or gum. No matter what method you use, quitting smoking before weight loss surgery is essential for a successful outcome.
