You know what you need to do so either get on board or you my really hurt yourself. If you not changing your habits I would push back surgery and get some support to get you moving in the right direction.

You just found out you have to quit smoking ? I'm sure this isn't the first time a doctor has told you. I mean no harm by this but I sure hope you can not pick it up after surgery. Can you imagine you have this surgery to become healthier and if you still smoke after you are still unhealthy. Good luck.

You should really do what your surgeon and the bariatric team ask you to do, pre and post op. Doing so will give you the best shot at fewer complications and a good outcome. I know its not easy, but it is necessary. I'm surprised you just learned that you need to quit smoking. Although you've left yourself a little short on time to lose weight, just get started and you might be surprised at how much you could lose pre surgery. Don't give up. Hard as this is, its completely worth it. I wish you strength and courage to do what needs to be done, trouble free surgery and recovery and amazing success toward reaching your goals. Will be watching and celebrating your success!

Dat sweetmami.

Just realized the smoking wasn't your issue. Glad you don't have that issue to deal with too.
