well i haven't used this before but decided to sign up since i got my surgery date today. surgery for then sleeve is may 18th and i'm really nervous for this blood test. my surgeon wont operate me if he finds nicotine/tobacco in my blood since i have been a smoker for the past year and a half. i officially quit today (using a e cig for just today, then dropping it tomorrow) in hopes it'll be out of my system for my blood test. the nurse said she would call me on april 18th with an appointment for the blood test. im afraid this wont be enough time. i smoke about a pack a day or less and do you guys have similar experiences and how did it go when you did the blood test? i really need this surgery and afraid i messed it up for myself because i didnt quit sooner.
