Hi everyone. I'm Gami from Michigan I and stressing out about the test for nicotine. I was a almost 1 pack a day smoker and quit on 12/9. I got some of the home tests online but still have not passed it. They pushed me back another month cause I gained some weight in November so at my appointment on 12/17 I lost 11lbs which was cool but I am feeling like I am never going to pass this urine test. I have done 2 urine tests and they came back positive. The RN said they would test me again next Monday 1/6 which I will be like 28 days smoke free. I am very happy about that but still very frustrated. Any words of advice. Please and thank you. 2020 is going to be my time to shine. Looking very forward to what's a head of me.

I was a smoker. My doctor didn't have a nicotine test thank goodness. My last cigarette was the night before my surgery. 😬 I will be thinking good thoughts for you. Whatever happens is supposed to hang in there! Quitting smoking on top of all this is a huge struggle. You got this!

You said a urine test for nicotine? The nicotine test for cotinine Usually shows positive for 3 weeks from your last indigestion of nicotine. Very important your not smoking for the healing your body has to do eternally. Smoking slows the healing down tremendously.

After years of poisoning your body it will take a while to clear up your system

Not true. I quit after a 37 year habit. Took mic test about 30 days later and passed.

nicotine is an addictive substance so I guess you could say we were poisoning our body much like most here were doing it with food

      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!
