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.....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
