I quit smoking 2 years ago. I used Chantrix. It was amazing how it took away the physical need to smoke but you still had to deal with the emotional side of it. Don't get me wrong, I THINK about smoking every day, especially when I get stressed. But the urge is only fleeting now.
I think that's how it will be for me and getting the sleeve. It will help take away the physical need to eat so much but I will still have to deal with the emotional side of it and will have to work on that for the rest of my life. Unlike when you quit smoking, you cannot quit eating. I hope the urges will be just as fleeting
I didn't have any adverse affects from Chantrix. My dreams were much more vivid, but not scarey. I could have taken The pills for months but found I didn't need them Physically after 15 days.
I smoked 1 - 2 packs a day for over 30 years when I finally quit. Good luck!!
