Quitting Smoking

I have been a smoker for 24 years, and am waiting to schedule my surgery date. I was wondering if there's any reformed smokers out there to get some advice from. I am going to see my PCP once my surgery date is scheduled because I understand there is now oral medication to make it easier. I am going to try to be totally off at least 3-4 weeks before my surgery date. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't have much confidence in the patch (dad wore one and still smoked 4 packs a day)!
