Topic: RE: playing the waiting game
Well it's been over 10 years ago when I quite but if I remember right I did gain some (about 10-15 lbs) but I was able to lose it once I got past the hardest part of quitting. One thing at a time, right now quitting smoking is most important then you can tackle the weight after awhile and then when you have your WLS you will lose bunches. Has the doc given you anything to help you quit? There are a few drugs that help get thru the worst part of quitting. I used Zyban and it really helped my nerves. You just come here and vent all you want. I'm always here if no one else is. Stay strong, you can do it!

I have had pain that comes and goes in my ear and I went to the doctor and I had an inner ear infection and a middle ear infection. It was so bad that as soon as my first antibiotics were gone it came back and I needed more antibiotics because it came back right away. The pain would go down into my face. I think at least for peace of mind you should have it checked out. It may be nothing but fluid behind your ear but it could be an ear infection!

Hugs hon!
It's hard to wait especially when we don't see any reason for them taking so long. I hope you are able to hang on and quit smoking, I too did that about 12 years ago and it's no fun for sure!! Just remember, one day at a time.

I remember how nervous I was waiting for my inurance approval. I was planning on having Rny, but because of my medical complications the Dr. would only do Lapband. My weight loss has been very slow, still I am so glad I was able to get it done.
Thank goodness I had quit smoking a couple of years before. It is hard, but so worth it. I truly love not being a smoker. Hang in there!

Thanks all for the info. I take Lyrica and it has been helping for a long time. I do wrap up with a warm blanket at times. That does help!
Wendy-I take so many meds I am afraid to do any natural herbs without checking with my Drs. But I defiently will ask what he thinks. It helps to share with others that understand what the pain is like.
