I don't think a random smoke of a cigar / or even a black would pop a positive though ... That would depend on 'how' random the use was.

Now that I can't have them, and the closer get to surgery, the more I think about having one... or two... or four... On a regular basis. My mind is trying to fail me. Kind of like my increase desire for sugar... Smh. Lol

I hope the Chantix works for you. I know smoking hinders the body's healing process and how important yet difficult it can be to stop. Best wishes and prayers to you. You can do it!!

Good luck JenW~79 , I'm feeling the same way. Finally did all pre op appointments and as I get closer to the 1st the reality is really setting in. How long is your hospital stay post op?

Scheduled for October 21, 2014 in Tiajuana Mexico with doctor Jose Rodriguez with Belite weightloss. Super exited and nervous! 25/8 all I do is think about my surgery. I read everything I get my hands on concerning WLS. I've never wanted something so bad and at the same time be so nervous and afraid of wanting it! Wishing all of you a safe and successful surgery!

Hello everyone, I'm scheduled for surgery on October 7th in Greenville Nc. I know I have one of the greatest surgeons in eastern NC, Dr. Naziri :). I'll start my pre-op diet on 9/23 which is next Tuesday. I'm very excited and ready to proceed forward with my journey. I wish all of you the best, I know we will do well. Let's stay in touch.

Hi! My surgery date is October 14th. Filled with anxieties and must stop smoking this weekend so I can hurdle the tobacco test. ... A bit nervous since I've never tried stopping and have been a smoker for 22 years. I'm sure I'll pull it off just extremely stressed about it.

Hi, I just quit smoking in July. I never thought I would be able to overcome that hurdle because I had attempted to quit so many times before. I was determined to quit for my health and for a quick recovery after surgery. It also helped that my surgeon required me to quit 3 months before surgery :).

I want to give you some tips to overcome the urge. You will probably experience your worst withdrawal the first 2 weeks. Try to make flushing the nicotine from your system top priority (morning until night); drinking cranberry and or grapefruit juice and lots of Water. Also begin taking a Multivitamin. Once the nicotine leaves your system the craving will subside.

You can do it and hope this will help you.

      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.
