So my wife and I both vape. We have the same pen. She uses nic and I use 0 nic (since I quit smoking). Today I vaped on her pen a lot without realizing it (I did feel dizzy but just assumed it was liver shrink diet related). My surgery is Monday and I'm petrified now. On top of it all, now all I want is nicotine. I have no idea if they will test me the day of surgery. I'm scared of I tell them they'll think it's bull and cancel me. I don't know what to do. This was about two hours ago. Did anyone get tested the day of surgery for nicotine/cotinine?

lol I was vaping up until I was admitted and vaped as soon as I got in the car to go home. I dont think you should be concerned and your craving for nicotine is probably just stress about the surgery. Chill!

Good luck!

Yes 12ml ... All Dr.'s will tell you to quit smoking before a surgery because it affects your circulation. It will also improve your recovery. How much .. I have no idea. They would never not do the surgery because if this. Lets just put it this way .. its better not to smoke .. but its not going stop anything .. just will get a dirty look from your Dr.

They actually tested me a few months ago. I wondered if they test again the day of surgery. Everything I've read seems to state I'd test positive from this mornings vaping. Nothing I can do now really.

I decided to look it up ...

So that is a more detailed answer to your question.. take it or leave it.

I didn't quit and I have had 3 surgeries in the last few years .. no problems. I think they are just covering their butts.

There is precisely 0.0% chance they will test you for nicotine or care if you have had it. Maybe you could smoke something without nicotine to help you calm down some ;-).

Thanks. I don't plan to vape nic anymore. I just don't want a morning of surgery surprise. I knew I should've gotten a different color pen from her. On top of that she had Cinnamon Toast Crunch in her vape and I didn't notice but now I want nicotine and cereal!

Thanks. I'm trying. It's been a long two years of many many stumbling blocks and things going wrong. It's hard to believe it's happening Monday and that something else won't happen to delay it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
