Whts the scoop on drinking with having the surgery??you tube has some horrible results.need all info.

I don't understand? You are having surgery for a better quality of life, right? So why continue to smoke? I am smoke free since 2007 and don't miss it.

I heard too many horror stories about Alcohol so I won't even attempt it. I used to drink in social settings basically from peer pressure do I won't be a "lame". But I can careless now, no way I wanna dump over something as foolish as liquor. If I'm gonna dump its gonna be for something serious like my grandma peach cobbler or uncle tea cakes! I don't even plan on those so alcohol is seriously the least thing I'd be thinking about.

With smoking, every since the 3rd grade when they showed a healthy lung and then a lung that's been smoking for 5 years I told myself then NEVER EVER will I smoke anything.

Yeah i feel the same about the drinking ive heard alot.but once again i was just asking.thats.what we are all here for right??to help each other. I am not a bad person:(

If there was a surgery to quit smoking I'd do it. Its an addiction and if kicking addictions was simple there would be no need for wls

It's veryyyyy hard, but do-able once you set your mind to quitting. There's many options to choose from...gum, patch, chantix, zyban, etc. Good luck!

Yes' date=' that is me with no cosmetic surgery, here are more![/quote']
