I'm about to have surgery in May and I've been reading this book called "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" by Alan Carr. It came highly recommended, a great friend of mine read it 2.5 hrs ago and has never touched a smoke since. She swears by it. The book seems pretty good so far, I'll let ya know how I feel after I read it all the way thru.

Hi, How is the book going? I read the book before and quit, had a crises and started up again. Then I went on the actual course. I've not touched a ciggie since 3 June 2009. And I'm a happy non-smoker. So all the best. I hope it works for you. To my mind it's the only book or course that works and I've tried every method.

Thank you Carrin! I'm going to try and finish the book Thursday. I have the day off and I'm just going to sit home and read read read. I really don't even want to smoke anymore, never mind just for the surgery. Hopefully it will work, seems to have worked for millions! I'l keep you posted!! :confused:)

Oooh I dunno, but 2.5 hours doesn't seem like quite long enough to claim that it is working :thumbup::thumbdown:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
