Yes! Right there with ya.... It's so hard! I have an E Cig which was working for the first few days, but then I stopped liking the flavor. I may have to contact my Dr for chantix

Huge respect for you making this change right along with all the other stuff.

I'm grateful that I quit years back.

I went cold turkey, but if I were trying to do so now.....I'd be having a serious conversation with my doctor about Chantix and learning enough to make the decision to use it or not. It seems like it is effective for many.

Never been a smoker myself but I've had two friends quit using Chantix.

Yes! I quit cold turkey 3 months ago! It doesn't make sense to go through surgery and still pollute your body with cigarette smoke. I just kept telling myself that I wanted to be healthy more than I wanted to smoke! You CAN do it!

I quit years ago and used the patch. It worked so well for me. In 6 weeks I was done and never smoked another one.

My program requires you to be nicotine free for 2 months. They test you on day of surgery and will cancel if positive for nicotene.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
