I wish i could help more in that department but i have never been a smoker. Have you tried the Patches, there is also a pill (not sure of the name) that helps ween you off. Try this: throw out whatever packs you have and dont buy anymore. I would hate for you to have complications with surgery because of your habit. You have a decision to make, whats more important: the length of your life or a cigarette. If you can answer that question then you can quit smoking. Tap into that will power that you have and fight for your health. Its not going to be easy but anything truly worth fighting for never is. I hope things work out for you.

Yes, I really wait the surgery . It hard to stop smoking after 34 years. I don't understand it seems that if some people have a hard time with things it always comes down to do you really want to have weight loss surgery. Everyone in life has different things to deaL with. We need to support others no matter their faults or issues.

I never implied that and what i originally said i deleted because i wasn't trying to judge you. All im saying is sometimes people arent ready that is all. I dont see how you read my post and thought i wasnt trying to support and uplift you. From what i say i was trying to offer you advice on quitting even though i have never been a smoker.

I'm sorry I took it the wrong way. Everything else is going good. I lost the weight I needed to, got all my meds in chewable. All my papers for work and ins are done. It's just this darn smoking I can't seem to kick. I'm going to try on my weekend really hard . I wrote a list of this I need to get done . Again I apologize for the misunderstanding.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
