Yes! Right there with ya.... It's so hard! I have an E Cig which was working for the first few days, but then I stopped liking the flavor. I may have to contact my Dr for chantix

Huge respect for you making this change right along with all the other stuff.

I'm grateful that I quit years back.

I went cold turkey, but if I were trying to do so now.....I'd be having a serious conversation with my doctor about Chantix and learning enough to make the decision to use it or not. It seems like it is effective for many.

Never been a smoker myself but I've had two friends quit using Chantix.

Yes! I quit cold turkey 3 months ago! It doesn't make sense to go through surgery and still pollute your body with cigarette smoke. I just kept telling myself that I wanted to be healthy more than I wanted to smoke! You CAN do it!

I quit years ago and used the patch. It worked so well for me. In 6 weeks I was done and never smoked another one.

My program requires you to be nicotine free for 2 months. They test you on day of surgery and will cancel if positive for nicotene.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
