Can you smoke, take xanax or vidodin after gastric bypass surgery?

please dont lecture i know the normal risks

i understand no body recommends it, even without surgery and im not sure if i will continue to take part in theses activities but im curious to know can you smoke, take xanax or vidodin after gastric bypass surgery? i know smoking afterwards can cause ulcers but is it for sure? i quit before the surgery and many ask why start again but to tell you the truth, i enjoy smoking and i dont want to be critized on the risks of smoking or anything ive heard time and time again, i just want to know if i light up after the surgery what am i at risk for

Just wanted to let you know, I had GB Surgery a week ago and my doctor said it's fine to start taking the Xanax again. Everyone is different so talk to your doctor before doing anything though. As for smoking, I had to quit for the surgery too. It sucks, I know. But it gets a little easier, especially with the Xanax. Talk to your doctor about Chantix or maybe Wellbutrin or some kind of smoking aid. It helps. I want to start back up so bad but I'm scared it might tear the pouch with ulcers like they say. And really, after going through all of this to get healthy, it makes sense to not start up again. But I get it. I really do. Good luck with everything. I hope this helps a little.

Well, if you are asking is it healthy? NO
Are you asking can you physically do it? Yes
Would everyone wonder why you even bothered to have bypass surgery if you were candidate for lung cancer anyway? SURE
Seriously, if you need to ask this, you shouldn't do it. You already know this because you don't wish to be lectured.
Nothing good will come from smoking.

Sure, why not keep it up? You are still "here" aren't you?
How many Doctors do you need?
