ImsexyandIknowit 48 Posted May 18, 2021 I smoke, and it took me about 1 month to finally not have it show up. With that being said doctor told me I needed to be 3 months clean on both cigarettes' and weed prior to my surgery. that was very hard to do but I did it...I wanted this surgery REALLY REALLY bad..... 1 pdc1605 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did they test you? I'm self pay and am worried I lapsed on vaping. I understand it is counterproductive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never tested me at all. I told my Dr I vaped. I actually quit for three days after surgery and then right back to it. Its more addictive than cigarettes.

ShoppGirl 5,004 Posted September 7, 2021 I am a former smoker and then vaper. I didn’t have any nicotine test though. I think that must be surgeon requirement and not insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pepper_No_Salt 49 Posted July 12, 2024 I'm really not smart because I quit smoking in 2015 but then smoked while on a camping trip in March. It took me MONTHS to finish the pack I bought and I literally smoked the last one back in June. I'm pretty sure I'm fine but wasn't the smartest thing I've done.
