I should hope not, but I am frigg'en out with anxieties here from time to time being a late quiter pre-op.

A doctor told me today if you hadn't quit 6 weeks prior to a major surgery then they don't usually ask you to but added she would not ever discourage some one who has quit to go ahead and start again. Gee's louise ! wt*, I wanted one as soon as I left but did not. Quit 4 days coming up and that will be 3 weeks before date for surgery, I don't want to afterwards either but I keep thinking how stress is going to be at a later date too.

Also quit several past years before ranged from 6 months to 1 year, longest was 2 yr 4 mth 2001 to 2003+1/2.

I quit almost 4 weeks prior to surgery and everything went great! Just stay strong...I know it hard. Now that my mind is focused on something else it's not nearly as difficult. In fact I really don't ever think about smoking which is so different from all the other times I quit. You got this!!

Thanks mrs. Mom, I'm glad to hear that you don't feel that craving now so much as I am imageing that could be and also that you only did 4 weeks too.

Congrats on your recent surgery, I read the history in your profile. I hope all is well for you at this point, you must be just starting to get around better and do stuff I guess.
