stopping smoking at least 10 days before my surgery would speed my healing, as much as by 3 weeks. As it was, I don't smoke, but I had major surgery - total abdominal hyster for uterine cancer - and I was released from the doc and declared fit for activity and work at 6 wks. This WAS in the US. But nobody said I wouldn't get the surgery if I did smoke.
