Smokin Bandsters?

...I just got my wisdom teeth out today so I definitely wont be lighting up for a few days now!<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Yeah, that would be bad. Very, very bad. I had a jaw tooth pulled a few months ago and was told not to suck on anything, including a cigarette, or else the clot would come out and I would get dry socket.

Did I listen? Nooooooo. While waiting for my pain Rx to be filled, I was outside the pharmacy puffing away.

The next day -- and several days continuously, I had THE most excruciating pain I've ever had in my LIFE. I've been through child birth four times and NOTHING comes close to the pain I experienced in my jaw when I got the dry socket.

Anyway....just wanted to inject that comment, and also toot my own horn in saying that I'm now 41 days smoke-free, and it's getting easier and easier.

Dr. says 2 months no smoking before he'll give me a surgery date.

Put me in the catagory of EX-smoker waiting for a band date...I'm never going back to smoking!

Keep up the good work all you non smokers.

To those that are wanting to quit: I'm using the Chantix RX from my GP. Working well for me. I'm also on Wellbutrin XL for depression.

Hoping for a Feb/March LB date!

I quit smoking 1 week pre-op and when Madi Gras came around I started back. I went about 4 weeks without. I will focus on quiting next year after most of the weight is gone.
