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.

No supplement but best I can tell you drinks lots and lots of Water to dilute your urine and think what's more important smoking or surgery in the future

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
