Thats really good to hear; i am very happy for you quitting :thumbup: And i hope your courage and motivation lasts a life time. But i am not addicted to smoking, i didn't have a problem giving it up for my operation, although i've been smoking for almost 7 years now. I'm just trying to find out if people are saying stop smoking because they hate smoking and its bad for you, or if they are saying stop smoking because it is dangerous with a lapband or if it might even slow down my weight loss.

Thankyou honk, shame about your brother. I hope he finds the courage to quit if that is what he wants. My grandfather is dying from smoking and drinking at the moment, and even though it's not his choice to quit, it's hard to watch people try to quit and end up back in square one. But i am aware of the side effects smoking will do. And i plan on quitting, but right now i'm not in the state of mind to quit. So i'm just trying to find out the dangers it can have now that i have a lap band.

thanks dave, but i'm wondering how long is the healing process for?
