Woo Hoo!!!

I GOT A DATE!!!!! 

The best part is ...... that it is way sooner than I thought it would be!

My date is :  December 9, 2008 at 11:00 AM!!!


Wow - I'm worried.....!  I hadn't quit smoking yet because I thought it was going to be January.  I was honest and told them that though.    They said I could still have surgery if my pre op tests were nicotine free.  I've had my last one.  This is going to be a hard habit to break, but it comes down to what I want more.  It sure isn't the cigarette.

Congrats......I am 2 weeks out and Dr. E was great.

Congrats on your date,it will be here before you know it.
Now put down those ciggs..I know easier said than done..

Yeah!!!!!!
NO MORE CIGARETTES!     There is a prescription out there Chnatrix....Try That. Hope that helps. WOO HOO!

Woo Hoooooo!!! 5 weeks to go and you will be on the bench with us!!! Congrats on getting your date, and now it is time to work on the nicotine free lifestyle!!! You can do it! We all know you can!  Good luck!

Hey girl- that is great news!!! Now, call your PCP and get some help to quit- you'll feel better for it,. & won't have problems afterwards. My daughters surgery is the 10th at St. V's so I'll stop by and do a lap or 2 with you-ok?!!!!

Yeah! I'm so excited for you! And a little jealous too!   Good luck doing away with the cigarettes!

Congratulations!!!  It will be here before you know it!  I know how hard it is to quit smoking.  I quit 8 weeks before my surgery.  I used Chantix and I was so glad I did.  Your PCP can prescribe it for you.  I am still smoke free......I think that it was harder to stop smoking than stop eating.
Good Luck
Robin

Thanks for the good wishes everyone!  (And Ellen, I would love to do some laps with you!)

I tried Chantix this time last year.  Unfortunately, I spent most of my time puking, so I had to quit taking it.  I'm just going to go it alone, cold turkey.  (...cold turkey - isn't that a funny term to use for stopping something immediately?  LOL)

Love you guys!  Scooch over on the loser's bench and be makin' some room!!!

Great news. . I thought you might get in there this year!!!! Merry Christmas. Im so happy for us both getting our date.  talk to u soon
