Oct 5th!!! Excited & super nervous!!!!! Good LUCK to all of you!!! =)

I'm so sorry to hear this! Sounds to me like you had a horrible team of DR's that you were going to! I mean really, that sounds like that case to me more than anything.. and the surgeon that put your band in, he damaged your stomach.. it's not the bands fault, it was your physicians!

Congrats! Very excited for you! =)

At least they are taken precautions.. just think it's one more thing out of the way, right? Best of luck to you. Dont' give up!

You are so right Mis73!! =) Thanks for the encouraging words!! I'm getting super stoked about my surgery... less than a month away!!

Well, I think I got my answers.. my surgery is Sept. 28th, so Ill definitely have to quit smoking by the first of September. They told us 6 weeks prior is efficient enough, but then I was told by the nurse that she seen patients not stop smoking b4 or after surgery. I need to quit anyway, I've been smoking for over a decade & it's time to seize the nicotine! I deifnitely think I'll try E-cigs! =) Thank you guys for your feedback!!

So, my question is to those of you that are pre-op & post-op... did any of you continue to smoke ciggarettes before & after surgery????
