Sorry, can't help you!! They don't do that in Canada. We're supposed to quit but I couldn't then. I have quit since though! Try vaping the lowest amount of nicotine. That's how I quit!

In our area if you want surgery via NHS you must quit for 6 weeks or start process all over again. If you do want the surgery then quit.

I have smoked and each time I wanted cigarettes I put the money into a tub over the space of a year - I paid for my wedding (all of it) plus and two week Mexico honeymoon with what I saved.

It all comes down to what you want more. I smoked for 20 years, but was able to quit during both my pregnancies because of something I wanted more than a cigarette. I finally quit smoking for good when I decided that I was too fat and unhealthy. I quit smoking cold turkey, but it took me almost 8 years to do anything permanent about my weight. Quitting isn't easy, but rarely is anything worth doing. Good Luck!

Get a ecig mod, and vape zero nicotine juice for 12 days before test, and you'll pass. You'll miss the nicotine but you'll at least be able to satisfy going through the "motions" of exhaling vapor.

I quit so many times!! I quit for 20 years one time and picked them back up when my baby daughter decided when she graduated from High School that she would move in with her boy- friend!!! I would always pick them up when something happened in my life, they were like my best friend!! But I have been quit now for 9 years and I have 0 desire to ever smoke again!! The test that I put myself thru was whenever I would have a beer I always wanted a smoke!! Well, I quit with CHANTEX and as I live and breath I have not looked back or desired even a puff!! They are disgusting totally!! When you use Chantex you smoke for the 1st week as you take the pills. I wrote my quit date on the calendar when I got up that morning I didn't even think about smoking!! AWESOME stuff!! Now I know now that you can use Chantex for 3 months but I used it 1 month and I was done!! If you want this go out and get it!! You will quit!! GOOD LUCK

I quit smoking before my surgery to pass my nicotine test and I'm not gonna lie I hated it. I quit 21 days before my test . It sucked but I had to do it, I even postponed my surgery twice because I was having trouble quitting smoking, but in the end I buckled down and quit because the surgery was so important to me. Vamping did not work for me, I had to quit cold turkey. The truth is if you want it bad enough you will find a way to do it. And btw I smoked for over 20 yrs prior to quitting.

      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.
