The surgery went great! I went at 630 am left 8-9am I went home to bed picked up pain Meds and nausea Meds on way home. I had ice packs Hp, gas x strips, Protein Drinks, Soups ect. Prestocked. I had light pain on my left side( port side for me) so laid on right side with HP on left back area and ice pack as needed on front. I did take pain med every 4 hrs not the 6 hrs on btl. I wanted to stay on top of so too 1/2 doses not recommended! 3 day I was up and around feeling good. I had foot surgery on 30th.

I quit smoking 7 months ago and I'm SO glad I did. I absolutely love being a non-smoker.

I used ecigs to quit. Specifically ProSmoke: http://www.prosmokestore.com/

I essentially used them as a nicotine replacement. It's smokeless cigarettes. You inhale Water vapor instead of smoke. I started smoking them like "normal" cigarettes and slowly tapered off. Within 2 months, I wasn't using the ecigs anymore either.

I tried to quit for years. I tried Patches, gum, and yes even Chantix. For me, the ecigs is what finally worked.

Best wishes to you!
