Did i screw myself out of surgery? !

[Lunabugg20 6]

I had my pre op appointment today and they drew blood, and asked for a urine sample. I quit smoking awhile ago, but, for new yrs, I had a celebratory smoke... now, I can't stop freaking out!! R they gonna send me home the day of my surgery bc there is nicotine in my system? I've been working so hard! How could I b so careless?! Please, no bashing. I know I screwed up. Thanks

I was tested for nicotine and they said if I failed surgery would be pushed back 3 months

Lunabugg20 don't beat yourself up, that leads to guilty feelings which may lead to binging & gaining weight is a reason to cancel surgery because it shows no change in eating habit. People probably don't realize that if we don't change our eating habits (type of food) we can & WILL gain weight even after surgery. But anyway, if it was one time I wouldn't worry but I wouldn't disclose it either

"How long does nicotine stay in your blood? Nicotine is usually detectable in a blood test for 1-3 days after the consumption of a tobacco product.* However, the length of time that nicotine stays in your system may vary based on how much or how often you smoke, and may also be affected by your age and general health. In addition, sometimes cotinine levels are used to determine nicotine’s presence in the body. Cotinine is what nicotine becomes when it is metabolized in the body. If this is the case, it can take 1-10 days." ... There..googled it.. Now.. Don't do it again! I quit last February and haven't smoked since.. And won't because when I lose all this weight I'm going to want skin surgery! .. Stay strong! *hugz*

So probably in the hospital or just been discharged, perhaps.
