yhoni 0 Posted April 9, 2016 Ok I have my pre op on the 25th but I'm so concern in reference to when is it to late to quit smoking... like how far bk can they detect the smoke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
autymn 27 Posted April 9, 2016 No idea. You should quit as soon as possible. They won't do it if they detect it at all. I know it sounds easier than it is, but I've been there and having a reason to quit helps. You can do it.

anrobe 34 Posted July 19, 2016 I'm in Richmond. I've just recently started the process. My doctor is Dr. Schroeder. I've had my initial consult, decided on the sleeve. Now, I have my NUT appointment next week and my psych eval the following week. My insurance doesn't require much which was such a relief. I'm hoping to submit for insurance approval by mid-August. I'm really excited! It's time to get going! My next steps are figuring out my out of pocket expense and how much time to take off of work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
