Anyone from Philadelphia?

I'm having my procedure on March 24th and was wondering if anyone had their procedure done at Abington Bariatrics? I have a few questions, especially about nicotine testing????

I live in Philadelphia and I am scheduled for April 13th at Abington Memorial with Dr Bonani from Abington Bariatric center

Hi!! Congratulations waynejr! Dr Noonan is my surgeon. Any idea how many times they nicotine test a person? Unfortunately I smoke, I had my testing Friday, results pending, and I was wondering if you think they will test again the day of surgery?

Not from Philly, just outside it in Scranton. Good luck!

I have no clue how often they do but you shouldn't be smoking still. You are risking severe complications by doing so. You really should push your surgery back and quit so you don't run into problems later

I'm from Philly, but I had surgery at UPenn. I'm not a smoker so I didn't have a nicotine test.
