Help!!!!

No they don't test you trust me I smoked weed 2 days before and ended up telling my doctor and no problem just kinda disappointed lol

Nicotine can stay in your system up to 30 days depending on how much you smoke. You could be SOL. It doesn't seem like you are ready for this surgery anyway since you continue to smoke.

My dr did a nicotine blood test at my preop blood work

I am a current smoker, but I certainly stopped a month before and then waited until healed. If they say they will do the test, I suspect that they will keep that promise. Tell the surgeon or you will otherwise be wasting everyone's time. Either he will start the clock from your last cigarette or warn you not to do it again. Just don't do it again.
