Hi,
Well, my bariatric surgeon told me I have to have an Endoscopy before my surgery.
It's scheduled for July 10th at 1030am. I have never had one.
They put you under, and so now of course, i'm nervous.
OK, here it is.......the thing i need to share..
I HAVE BEEN SMOKING!!! i KNOW...i should not..but its been so hard for me. I kept relapsing, and getting really frustrated, and gave in, and had no willpower.
Val knows, and she's not happy, but she said..>If you ever want to be off the oxygen, and not have trouble walking, and being out of breath when you walk, and if you want your COPD to get worse, that is where you are headed.
I did buy the E Cig, but it worked and then i gave in to the temptation and craving of a real cigarette.
I want to stop, and now i have this Endoscopy that i'm going under anesthesia for, and then my upcoming bariatric surgery in August or September.
I need more than the DS Support Group. I either need to do the patch, or get the E cig, and just STOP!!
Please say a prayer, so that i may have the willpower and commitment to try this ONCE AGAIN!
**So disappointed in myself"....
