Looking for October sleevers from canada
amberb1979 replied to amberb1979's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am so sorry to hear this happened. I had my surgery scheduled during the change over and something didn't see. Right to me so I contacted dr.pompa myself and spoke with her; I had read that many patients were being told the same thing as you - I could tell there were some lies going on with the business change and I didn't like the dishonesty so I cancelled ESA health and re-booked with Limarp for October 12th.. it was a lot cheaper and I feel much better.. .i hope your health improves. I am so dissapointed that a company that had a s good of reviews as wlf would be so sneaky and unethical.. that's just not okay Sent from my SM-G870W using the BariatricPal App -
Having a hard time quitting smoking
amberb1979 replied to amberb1979's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely keeping busy is a good thing for me.. that's why I don't smoke during the day.. I tend to use it as my wind down time with my husband.. I'm thinking I just need to find a new way to wind down.. Sent from my SM-G870W using the BariatricPal App -

Having a hard time quitting smoking
amberb1979 replied to amberb1979's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does that first line mean that you're trying to smoke two cigarettes daily? "Cutting down?" There's no such thing. Smoking is smoking; the amount is irrelevant. Most people have a hard time quitting. They become irritable at best, near-homicidal at worst for a couple three weeks. Such is life. Taking in extra oxygen helps greatly but briefly. Whenever you want a cigarette, inhale as slowly and deeply as possible -- feel your diaphragm expand -- and then let it all out as slowly as possible. Inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth. Do it every time you want a cigarette. Put the money you're not spending on cigarettes into a jar. Decide for yourself what you'll do with the money once you reach the amount you determine. Head out of the house for a walk around the block when the urge is upon you. More Water. I haven't cut down.. that is all I normally smoke. . In fact it's not usually very day either but I am going to try the breathing and see how that helps.. thanks! My biggest challenge is that my husband smokes so the cigarettes are always around - I don't buy them myself. Sent from my SM-G870W using the BariatricPal App -

Researching doctors in Mexico
