Smoking is injurious to health. It is nothing new because every box purchased would tell you that. Not only cancer, but it is also known to cause Lung Inflammation, Complications, and Heart Disorders. When you are changing life on a healthier route, why would you keep the unhealthy habit anyway!
Increased Risk
Bariatric Surgery has a potential risk of only one percent. However, smoking can raise the bar and result in a significant risk. You are doubled as likely to experience severe surgical difficulties leading to death if you are a smoker. Smokers are 1.5 times more likely to encounter non-fatal surgical risks, too.
Difficult Healing
Smoking slows down and sometimes hinders the healing process of the body. Not only would it be difficult to heal, but it might also cause problems with the blood flow. Wound infections and other types of diseases are also more prominent in smokers. Antibiotic therapy doesn’t reach the tissues either due to the lessened blow flow issue.
Stomach Ulcers
Stomach Ulcers are already commonly seen in smokers. They become very prominent after your Bariatric Surgery. The way the body heal wounds is with blood flow. After bariatric surgery, some of the blood flow to the abdomen is interrupted because the belly is split. Now that identical ulcer that would have convalesced quickly in a regular stomach would not heal as fast or at all.
Heart Problems
Heart issues are very commonly seen in Smokers, but if you suffer from Obesity, the risk increases by folds. Many of these patients have sleep apnea and weak respiratory systems due to their weight and lack of physical activities. Refrain from smoking today and give yourself the life you deserve.
