This is so dumb. I have quit smoking. I have been a smoker for about 30 yrs. whenever it comes up that I've quit, people say things like "it's about time" or "good for you!" Or "that's great!" (Here's the dumb part) I want people to do cartwheels! Do they not understand that that is HUGE? Well, I know they do, really I do, but I want the sky to open up and drop balloons and confetti... all over the place.

And doves and unicorns, too

I am 7 months post op and loving life! Have been on a nasty (although pretty typical) stall for the last 2 months but am thrilled with the results thus far! I was self pay and it was the best money I have ever spent on my health! You will love your sleeve! Wishing you the best! I'll take you for a ride on my unicorn post op!

I can't wait for my unicorn ride!! Your words are so encouraging! I look forward to being as happy as you are!! Can't wait for Tuesday!

congrats on quitting smoking. it is a really huge deal. (i picture that little band singing I just want to celebrate another day of quitting!) ive never been a smoker myself but i wish my stepfather and mom would quit. My stepdad had bladder cancer from smoking back in 2006 and had to have his bladder removed (now wears a bag.) you think that would encourage him to quit but no. believe it or not the man still smokes 7 packs of marlboro a day! Not even joking. i once timed him and he light up a cig every 3 mins. congrats again! stay strong!

Thank you!! I pictured the little band!!

I will definitely stay strong!

7 packs a day?? Holy Crow! I wouldn't think that was even possible!!

I wish the best for him!!
