I'm from Columbus, Ohio with Molina healthcare Ins. I took my alcohol/nicotine/drug test last week, I quit smoking marijuana 2 months ago, and my test came back positive for marijuana. I am around others that smoke marijuana. How long does it normally take to get out your system? Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm so bummed. My ins. coordinator called me and said it needs to be negative and put another order in. Last thing on my list.

It typically takes 30 days but depends on how heavily you used. Second hand contact can also cause the positive reading especially if you're around it a lot.

What are ridiculous requirement. Insurance companies have a lot of nerve. There are many states in which it is perfectly legal to smoke marijuana, and quite frankly in my humble opinion outlawing the existence of an herb is by itself insanity. Using this to prevent people with real health issues from addressing them borders on criminal by itself. Sorry you're going through this. Move to California! LOL

This is a requirement? I don't believe I have to do this (at least I hope I don't!). I already submitted everything to insurance on Friday, but I never did a urine test for anything. Now you have me a little worried. Does everyone have this requirement???

I work at a drug testing facility it can take 90 days and being around it won't cause you to be positive even if you get a contact buzz

Any Vitamin supplements I can take to speed this up? Im not sure if I can do 90 days. Everything is done except this test I did not pass. I'm so bummed and depressed about it.

I would have quit smoking a lot sooner if I would have known it was a requirement. I was never told, they just kept pushing stop smoking cigarettes which I did in the beginning.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
