YES! I have been on the patch for 2 weeks now. I have extremely bloated stomach, plus am, in general, all over my body very swollen (like my rings are suddenly impossible to take off my fingers). Probably water retention plus our bodies can't process food through our digestive systems the same as before. I have been reading about this online the past few days. Seems to be a very common effect of quitting smoking that goes away in time. But I was curious to see if anyone else found this so even using the patch, not cold turkey.View Thread
