Hi everyone, I was just wondering how long did you wait to get your results back from your nicotine test? I took my test Friday morning (urine) I would have thought it wouldn't take that long. Then how long does it take usually to hear back about a date? A little history from my situation is I was told after my nicotine test comes back they turn my paperwork over to insurance for approval and then set a date. I know I have done everything that is required but the waiting to get the results back and to get through the red tape at this point is driving me crazy! I guess I would feel bette if I had some kind of time line instead of this not knowing anything! I'm so used to having things planned thi said a driving me nuts! Any answers of your experiences would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance!!

I'm in the same boat as you...quit smoking at my first appointment and just had my nicotine test 8 weeks later...I'm cleared with everything else and just waiting...

I didn’t even know they did such thing. Is that standard or just for smokers?

From everything I have read it really depends on the Dr. some do it to everyone some only to people they admit smoke and some don't test at all. I did however get a call from my Primary, which is where all of my testing has been, today and I passed my nicotine test. So I took it last Friday morning at 8am and got a call this morning at 8:30 (Thursday) telling me it was negative. So anyone else out there wondering how long it takes to hear back 5 buisness days.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
