I'm from Columbus, Ohio with Molina healthcare Ins. I took my alcohol/nicotine/drug test last week, I quit smoking marijuana 2 months ago, and my test came back positive for marijuana. I am around others that smoke marijuana. How long does it normally take to get out your system? Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm so bummed. My ins. coordinator called me and said it needs to be negative and put another order in. Last thing on my list.

It typically takes 30 days but depends on how heavily you used. Second hand contact can also cause the positive reading especially if you're around it a lot.

What are ridiculous requirement. Insurance companies have a lot of nerve. There are many states in which it is perfectly legal to smoke marijuana, and quite frankly in my humble opinion outlawing the existence of an herb is by itself insanity. Using this to prevent people with real health issues from addressing them borders on criminal by itself. Sorry you're going through this. Move to California! LOL

This is a requirement? I don't believe I have to do this (at least I hope I don't!). I already submitted everything to insurance on Friday, but I never did a urine test for anything. Now you have me a little worried. Does everyone have this requirement???

I work at a drug testing facility it can take 90 days and being around it won't cause you to be positive even if you get a contact buzz

Any Vitamin supplements I can take to speed this up? Im not sure if I can do 90 days. Everything is done except this test I did not pass. I'm so bummed and depressed about it.

I would have quit smoking a lot sooner if I would have known it was a requirement. I was never told, they just kept pushing stop smoking cigarettes which I did in the beginning.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
