Hi Robin, Just to let you know I had surgery on 7/24/00 by Dr. Redan and Dr. Reich. When Dr. Redan came to my hotel room the day before surgery he asked who smoked. The smoke was lingering in my hotel room....both my husband and I smoked. When I told Dr. Redan that he said if he knew prior to my surgery that I smoked he would not have performed surgery on me. I was in total shock. I just learned at that meeting what smoking was doing to me - not only the bad things but the oxygen to my inners not allowing full recovery. I had picked a quit date to stop smoking and will do everything in my power to make it work. I know what pain I go through in my life is not worth lighting up. My husband and I know how hard it is to quit as we had tried in the past to quit. I don't think we will try to quit together this time......lol Just to let you know you are not alone. I will be here to help and support you each step of the way. Good luck ~Chrissie
