Thanks Charlie--- After the first operation the Dr. said --Quit smoking --- of course no matter what thats always the advice they give.
This time the surgeon told me in the middle of putting in the stents ( I was awake!) that the material the stent is made from ( titanuum and stainless) attracts nicotine in the blood and traps it!! IF YOU don't QUIT this WILL happen AGAIN in very short order AND THEN YOU WILL LOOSE AT LEAST ONE LEG! I was already in the hospital and could not smoke --that pretrty well convinced me I was done and the month in there pretty well cleared me up. Once I decided the cigs were a thing of the past , I have had no problem --- really .
Me being Me --I did some research after I got home and found the surgeon was completly honest-- stents are like a nicotine magnet--- Wish the first time the doctors had been a bit more forceful about it-- I would have quit then had I known what I know now.
