Can anyone tell me when they got tested for smoking before the surgery. I am struggling and dont want to screw up and not get my surgery. I have had so much going on the last cpl months and this is all so stressful enough just having a major surgery. Now im 3 weeks before my sugery and i had quit but backslid. If anyone feels like sharing or has any advise i could use it right about now

As soon as I was told I had to quit I did. That was at my first NUT appointment. I surprised myself and just said that's it... I'm done. It was difficult but nothing was going to stop me from having this surgery. I was tested at my last NUT appointment which was 6 months later.

I was tested about a week before surgery. It was a urine test. You can call and ask them when they want you to take it. I'm sure they are used to it. hehe

I was tested at my pre-op testing appt a week prior to surgery, you need to have quit at least 21 days prior to the test in order to pass

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
