I am just starting the process and currently a smoker. I am going to quit but in need of little help. Does anyone know if they would approved of the vapor e cigarette with no nicotine? I just like the fruity flavors. I quit smoking for over a month and my sister took my vape. Yes I started back..... It's so hard if you are smoker and everyone smokes at my job. Any input would be appreciated!

Vaping just did not work for me, I went back to cigarettes, but I'm now taking chantix and should be completely off cigarettes in four days

Congrats!!!! Vaping did work but I don't know if I can do that if I'm having surgery. I have time, I still have tons of things to do before approval but I really don't want to stop last minute. I'm going to my Dr next week so I may ask for chantix.

My dr approves it. Said I can use the gum, the Patches, or vapors

I don't like the liquid vapors and found mark10 at speedway and it has been my life saver. It's not the same but it really helps

I had to have a urine test (for anabasine) that is found in tobacco. And the lab didn't even test me for it (they didn't know what it was) now I have to retake it, and I'm very upset it's hard to stay away from smoke even when I havnt smokes since May

I also quit using a vape pen. It is not for everyone. My surgeon said 2 months nicotine free. He does a urine test as well. He didn't specify how I should quit, just that I do.so far I am doing well. No nicotine for at least 2 weeks now.

Chantix really helped me when I quit (it was about 8 years ago). It just helped make the cigarette taste like a cigarette. Within a few days, I'd quit for good. I'm not sure the vaping would have worked for me as a big part of it was letting go of my little habits around smoking. But, in the end, whatever works, right?!

Thankfully they scheduled for me to take my nicotine test at the end of month 2 out of my 6 months. I smoked month 3-5 but I stopped because I'm scared of being retested by my surgeon right before surgery. I don't have an addiction though so I could stop cold turkey if need be

      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.
