does anyone have experience how long THC takes to clear?

Chronic smokers who smoke every day can take up to 6 weeks.

im curious tho? You get tested for THC? i know i didnt. I gave up cigs a longggg time ago, but if im being honest i never gave up mary jane. I am no way recommending that you dont. Im just stating i didnt. Everyone is different.

When testing for THC (or any drug for that matter), the clinician can usually tell by the ng per ml of whole blood what your current use is. You may still show some THC in your system even after being abstinent for a month.

I live in WA State, the "Ever Green" state. we have recreational Marijuana use for those over 21. All the clinics and doctors routinely ask about your use of THC now for treatment purposes.

Thanks for the replies. Since I last visited here on my lunch hour I got a call back from the insurance person in the Drs office, and my plan does not offer any sort of weight loss treatment. It specifically excludes it, everything related to it they could possibly include, anything to help you lose weight, even if you have conditions that may be improved by losing weight, or your Dr declares medically necessary, it actually says that. BUT...I DO have coverage for medical Hair loss restoration. Too bad I'm fat and not bald.

so sorry to hear that. Is there some other insurance you can get even if you have to pay for it that will cover this. You can always cancel it after the surgery and continue to use the insurance that you now have. Just a thought.....

      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.
