I have researched a number of physicians and I am on a waiting list to be interviewed. At this point I find quitting smoking 3 months before surgery is mandatory. It all seems so hopeless.

I have never used a website like this, with "threads" etc. I tried to find relevant info so I would not be asddressing an issue that has been discussed many times before.

Thanks
Liz, keep telling yourself you are worth it. Anything this good is not easy, but soooo worth it.

Miche and Jody, great advice girlfriends!

I'm two weeks post-op, down 15 pounds, and happy! And with all the hassles of insurance, etc. it took me a year to get approved. But here I am, and I'm loving life!

Good luck, and hang in there. If you want it badly enough, YOU will make it happen.
