five more days to go and I am a nervous reck anyone else feel the same way before they got banded

thanks gyfts I am getting really scared I have a low pain level and I am worried that I will not be ready for the pain their are a lot of great ideas on here so that will come in handy I am going out to buy the gas x strip right now....thnaks everyone for all the support

I quit 2 yrs ago cold turkey and the best advise I got was wait 15 minutes and see if the craving goes away if not chew gum for another 15 minutes and then if not smoke(it would help if you do something in the mean time) but I never did It became a competiton with myself to see how long I could stay smoke free..I know it is a struggle everyday but it will get better..good luck

Hi my mane is karlee and even thou i am not banded (will be on the 22nd) I have done alot of research on the band and also from going to my support group and everyone talks about papaya enzyme tablets I found them at the vitamin shoppe you might want to try it they are small white pill not capsul but they can be crush and they are great for desolving stuff that get stuck I have tried in and it work...don't hold me to this it might not work for you but it is worth a try...good luck

good luck i wish you all the best
