ajdv84 8 Posted June 14, 2012 My surgery date is june 26. Im pretty excited I go in tomorrow and get blood drawn for a blood work. The 3day liquid diet before the surgery is gonna b tough but after the operation it will be worth it to know im gonna loose alot of weight. Good luck in your new beginnings!!!

nomorefat 74 Posted June 14, 2012 I am a smoker and was tested 2 x prior to surgery. They used a breathing machine. They should be telling you when you have to be smike free and when they will test you. Breathing machine -5 days to get out of system, don't know about blood. Look it up online. I smoked after passing my tests up to the day before surgery and wish i had not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nita1019 23 Posted June 14, 2012 My surgeon will not so surgery unless you are 100% smoke free foe 90 days. He test u when u go in the hospital and if you have nicotine in your system he will send you home the day of surgery. I have been smoke free for 27 days now. I have been an on and off smoker for years. I quite cold turkey. Having mouth fixation problems this time around but it is worth it. I am not passing this up for a smoke.
