No worries. My wife is very patient with me in this regard. I tried Chantix once a few years ago when it first became a viable option. It just didn't take.
I had a doctor tell me once that, with all my issues, it's a shock that smoking actually isn't the thing that's killing me . . .

WOW!!! This is so sad!! You have worked so hard to get the weight off and now you have all of this coming up. I wish I had so kind info to share but....I really don't. Just realize you are SUCCESSFUL with your WLS. I can offer what worked for me and quitting smoking. I have quit at least 4 times. One time I quit for 20 years and when my daughter moved out at 18. (she did move in with her boyfriend) So I do have lots of experience with smoking and quitting. The last time I quit with CHANTEX (this has been 10years ago) and let me say I have no want to's!! It was amazing. They say you can use it for 3 months, but I didn't take it just for 1 month. I never looked back!! It works!! I don't want to come off as I am preaching to you and with every thing you are going thru you might think that smoking is the lesser evil. Again I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry you're experiencing these tough health challenges!!! ((hugs))
So I just did a quick check for you and I'm sure your transplant team have checked this out, but a low oxylate diet has little effect on changing oxylate build-up. It binds to Calcium. So are you taking your calcium supplements? Are you eating calcium rich foods? Have you had your parathyroid tests done to see if you've got a stable calcium status?

Hope this helps spark conversations/questions with your transplant team!!!
