Smokin Bandsters?

Hello Everyone!

I was wondering how many banded smokers are out there. I am wondering if you quit smoking before your surgery, if so, how long before, did you remain a non-smoker? Did you pick up smoking again? Basically, share your smoking habits with me if youd like! :)

    Dr. says 2 months no smoking before he'll give me a surgery date.

    Put me in the catagory of EX-smoker waiting for a band date...I'm never going back to smoking!

    Keep up the good work all you non smokers.

    To those that are wanting to quit: I'm using the Chantix RX from my GP. Working well for me. I'm also on Wellbutrin XL for depression.

    Hoping for a Feb/March LB date!

    I quit smoking 1 week pre-op and when Madi Gras came around I started back. I went about 4 weeks without. I will focus on quiting next year after most of the weight is gone.
