Joann454 1,329 Posted May 19, 2017 So my wife and I both vape. We have the same pen. She uses nic and I use 0 nic (since I quit smoking). Today I vaped on her pen a lot without realizing it (I did feel dizzy but just assumed it was liver shrink diet related). My surgery is Monday and I'm petrified now. On top of it all, now all I want is nicotine. I have no idea if they will test me the day of surgery. I'm scared of I tell them they'll think it's bull and cancel me. I don't know what to do. This was about two hours ago. Did anyone get tested the day of surgery for nicotine/cotinine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian B 94 Posted May 19, 2017 lol I was vaping up until I was admitted and vaped as soon as I got in the car to go home. I dont think you should be concerned and your craving for nicotine is probably just stress about the surgery. Chill! Good luck! 1 mustanglauri reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joann454 1,329 Posted May 19, 2017 Vaping nicotine? I do need to chill. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian B 94 Posted May 19, 2017 Yes 12ml ... All Dr.'s will tell you to quit smoking before a surgery because it affects your circulation. It will also improve your recovery. How much .. I have no idea. They would never not do the surgery because if this. Lets just put it this way .. its better not to smoke .. but its not going stop anything .. just will get a dirty look from your Dr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joann454 1,329 Posted May 19, 2017 They actually tested me a few months ago. I wondered if they test again the day of surgery. Everything I've read seems to state I'd test positive from this mornings vaping. Nothing I can do now really. 1 Becoming_Me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian B 94 Posted May 19, 2017 I decided to look it up ... http://www.drpancholi.com/e-cigarettes-safe-surgery/ So that is a more detailed answer to your question.. take it or leave it. I didn't quit and I have had 3 surgeries in the last few years .. no problems. I think they are just covering their butts. 1 Joann454 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navigating the Wilderness 824 Posted May 19, 2017 There is precisely 0.0% chance they will test you for nicotine or care if you have had it. Maybe you could smoke something without nicotine to help you calm down some . 2 Deactivatedfatgal and Dashofpixiedust8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joann454 1,329 Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks. I don't plan to vape nic anymore. I just don't want a morning of surgery surprise. I knew I should've gotten a different color pen from her. On top of that she had Cinnamon Toast Crunch in her vape and I didn't notice but now I want nicotine and cereal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joann454 1,329 Posted May 19, 2017 You just need to relax and know everything is going to work out! [emoji4]Thanks. I'm trying. It's been a long two years of many many stumbling blocks and things going wrong. It's hard to believe it's happening Monday and that something else won't happen to delay it. 1 Deactivatedfatgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YeaMe 246 Posted May 19, 2017 Do they have Captain Crunch?!?!?! If so, I might take up vaping! 1 Joann454 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
