January 13, 200719 yr Hey Truluv2329, I quit tobacco products (cigs and chew) the day I was banded. October 2nd 2006. I've been chewing nicotine gum since. I think I'm addicted to it now! Good luck with your surgery. It was the best thing I've ever done. I was a little sore for about 3 days but this darned band sure works!
still smoking 1 cig today 1 yesterday a couple before that im worried
