Hi everyone, I was just wondering how long did you wait to get your results back from your nicotine test? I took my test Friday morning (urine) I would have thought it wouldn't take that long. Then how long does it take usually to hear back about a date? A little history from my situation is I was told after my nicotine test comes back they turn my paperwork over to insurance for approval and then set a date. I know I have done everything that is required but the waiting to get the results back and to get through the red tape at this point is driving me crazy! I guess I would feel bette if I had some kind of time line instead of this not knowing anything! I'm so used to having things planned thi said a driving me nuts! Any answers of your experiences would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance!!

I'm in the same boat as you...quit smoking at my first appointment and just had my nicotine test 8 weeks later...I'm cleared with everything else and just waiting...

I didn’t even know they did such thing. Is that standard or just for smokers?

From everything I have read it really depends on the Dr. some do it to everyone some only to people they admit smoke and some don't test at all. I did however get a call from my Primary, which is where all of my testing has been, today and I passed my nicotine test. So I took it last Friday morning at 8am and got a call this morning at 8:30 (Thursday) telling me it was negative. So anyone else out there wondering how long it takes to hear back 5 buisness days.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
