Just did all my final lab requirements before my surgery on Oct 11th....

Including the nicotine urine test. I smoked on August 24th ALOT... then took two puffs on September 14th...

Arrrrgh...and did the test today. Am I being over-paranoid? I hope I don't test dirty for the nicotine.

How long do you think the two puffs will stay in my system?????

Was wondering if anyone passed their nicotine test within a week from smoking?

Im wondering as well

Me too

I don't know why people would try to cheat a nicotine test. Smoking after surgery just puts you at high or very high risks for complications, especially if you have a bypass. The only person you'd be screwing is yourself when you end up in the hospital with a perforated marginal ulcer and need emergency surgery

Smoked for 2 months regularly. Have my last appointment with the surgeon coming up on May 29th with some lab work that I know I’ll be having but unsure what it’ll be. I’m guessing there’s going to be a nicotine/continine test. Quit cold turkey on the 20th. What do you guys think are my chances of it being negative?? I’m starting to freak out a lot and I don’t want to screw up this opportunity that’s such a big deal. Any opinions??

How did you go with your tests? I have zero knowledge on how they test for nicotine, but am hoping you passed your tests and have joined the non smokers bench. Giving up cigarettes has been brutal on top of the preop diet.
