Is It Fine To Smoke Hookah After Gastric Sleeve?
Hii... I had gastric sleeve 5 days ago and I'm feeling like I didn't have the surgery in the first place. I'm already going out with my friends and walking and everything. I need to know if it's ok to smoke hooka? I just had a few puffs but I need to know if its going to be harmful as my wounds still didn't heal yet

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Any form of smoking (cigarette and hooka) reduces vascular circulation by causing vaso-constriction. Decrease blood supply decreases process of healing.
Same time smoking reduces immunity and increases chances of having infection. So, it is better to stop any form of smoking.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
