Good for you. I've never smoked, but I think it would be doubly hard for a smoker to prepare for weight loss surgery. You're fighting two things at once.

Great news! I knew you would pass it.

I quit for 5 years once. I had to also stop drinking coffee and alcohol because they were triggers. After five years I went out and had a few social drinks. That was it. I started smoking again. It is a life long battle to kick that addiction.

I did quit again 10 years ago with vaping. Now I still vape but with zero nicotine.

Thank you....I think I can do this. I am in the right mindset. Especially now that I have a date as well. It feels good. It does feel good this time

after two long (a year or more) quits and then starting again, I learned I was a permanent addict and could never ever smoke again. I quit for the last time 25 years ago. I refuse even one puff because I know if I cave, I'll be smoking full-time again within a matter of days. Twenty-five years later, I still dream that I'm smoking (!)

Well I've read some that there doctors don't care but most do. You heal better when not a smoker. I needed to quit anyway. It's a very good thing to do. Don't smoke. Lol

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
