He states the straw thing is a myth, lolMy surgeon required me to quit. I'm on day 12 of no smoking. It hasn't been easy, and smoking is on my mind a lot. I'm using the patch...and Charms suckers, lol. My husband also quit to support me. My surgeon told me that besides the healing issues, that smoking also makes you prone to stomached ulcers and having ulcers in a stomache the size of a banana is not a good thing.I would love to keep in touch!June 14th here!!!My date is also June 14th!!! I am also petrified!!!I'm self pay, all I am paying is $14000. Which is for surgeon, anthestologist, and hospital. The price you're being told you have to pay is crazy!I used to mix baking soda and water to drink...it would make me burp and I would feel better
