Hi all! After months and months of lurking and getting the cash together, I've finally got my date to be banded on Dec 4! However, I have some doubts that I'm hoping someone can give me advice on. I didn't expect them to book me so quickly. I went for a consult today and when they asked me if I wanted to come in a week later for my surgery of course I was excited and agreed! Here's the rub. I got my binder and it says I have to quit smoking 2 weeks before the surgery to improve healing. I haven't quit smoking! My zyban hasn't kicked in yet and even if I quit cold turkey this instant it would still not be long enough! Do you think one week of prep/post op diet/few days off smokes/going on the operating table in nicotine withdrawal is wise? Should I reschedule? Opinions anyone? Oh and Hi, forum! :thumbup:

Well, I called and it's no problem for them whether I'm smoking, on zyban, just quitting or what. So Dec 4 it is! Full steam ahead!
