LH - I know how you feel!! I've been battling the smoking demon myself and I've just had to beat myself up just preventing me from buying any cigarettes!!! And the waiting just doesn't help!! I've had my consult and completed all my evaluations, but due to a problem in the surgeon's office, paperwork hasn't been submitted. I keep thinking "and I could have smoked another pack of cigarettes...." but I do feel better without them. Hang in there and email me if you wish to!

LH - 3 tricks for quitting smoking (smoked for 25 years--new quitter) 1) get the patch and wear it (instead of "stepping" down, buy the highest dose and cut them smaller every couple of weeks...money saver big time), 2) drink lots of non-caffeinated beverages, 3) breathe and wait 5 minutes, the craving DOES go away. good luck !

In all things Remember,that the one above loves you,that He holds us all in his loving arms,He knows each of us by name.He said anything you ask for in "my name" will be given to you.So in His name I pray for you,that you be given strength, endurance,love,peace and most of all long life.In Jesus' name. When you wake up and see the faces of your loved ones in the recovery room,know that you have made it.Thank Him,Know that you have been blessed to see and to live out the rest of your days with the ones you love and the ones who love you.....Knowing that He loves you too.

I Said a Prayer of Healing for you -- body, mind and soul -- That God would bring you comfort to restore and make you whole. I prayed you'd be surrounded by His awesome love and healing. Dispelling all anxiety or pain you might be feeling. Finally, I prayed you'd be uplifted by His grace, and feel yourself enfolded in the peace of His embrace.

Hi there, my name is Karen and I am only 3 weeks post op lap rny but I quit smoking last January 2002, I have over a year under my belt after at least 8 prior attempts..It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.. I understand..I used the patches and also from my doctor wellbutrin... it really helped me alot.... so dont be afraid to go check with your doctor... I am also a very big baby when it comes to going to the doctor but let me tell you after having all the testing done for this surgery it is just another day if I have to go in for something.. ha... you too will get used to it... take care...and good luck...
