I am scheduled for surgery, I am a smoker. I recently stopped smoking just yesterday, they ask for you to stop it least a month before surgery. Would this be something that can effect tremendously If I don't?

I never thought this would be so hard to do. Any advice from anyone who has or is going through this!?

I am trying to Quit as well. I am having so much trouble. My Date is May 3' date=' and it is he@@ for me! Maybe we can be Support to each other.[/quote']

We totally should! I'm on my week without smoking, cold turkey. I can't do Wellbutrin, I work at a law firm and working there messes with your head about pharmeucticals. Cold turkey is working for me- also the gym I take Zumba classes at Lucille Roberts for the past 3 weeks, I leave out of there not even thinking a smoking! We can do this hon, I have faith we will both succeed in this!

You will! That's what my boyfriend told me too hahah his a non smoker so he feels relieved that I've quit! Keep me posted

If you can stop for a day, you can stop for two days... if you stop for a week, one more week will be easier... get by a month, and then hold your course for the second... before you know it the addiction and habit will pass. Congratulations on taking the first step.
