    They don’t test u on the day they told me the exact same thing nd wen I looked into it properly I found out its advised u stop smoking 2week b4 nd 2week after just coz u heal a lot quicker if ur a non smoker I’m a smoker nd I’ve got my op in 13days nd I can’t just stop smoking just like that if it was that easy I think everybody wud just stop . Plz don’t worry chick it be fine xxx

    I was a very heavy smoker before my op, somehow managed to stop but had a few here and there. They didn’t do any kind of test, so I’m sure you’ll be fine. Just try not to smoke on the day of your op as I’m sure if you walk in smelling of smoke they won’t be happy! xx

    Hi girls, just noticed most of you will have already had your ops by now and just wondering what you did about smoking. Dr mounir said I have to stop now as my appointment is on the 20th June and he will do a blood test to check if I have been! Is this right, do they test you. Have any of you have dr mounir?

    I went for my surgeon consultation with Dr. Mounir yesterday, I am booked in for surgery on the 29th Oct and he told me I have to stop smoking immediacy and that he will be testing me to make sure. Would like to know why I have to stop smoking a month before when most people are saying 2 weeks. I haven’t even read of anyone being tested, very confusing ????

    I was on holiday for 2 weeks before my op and was smoking and drinking, didn’t affect me at all, changed to an ecig after my op for 3 weeks – now 6 weeks post op and feel fine! Although I’ve cut down smoking so much and use the ecig a lot more but still having a few a day. If anything it’s saved me so much money haha

    Just a suggestion but I vape and they had no problem with me doing that it but they said with smoking it prolongs the healing process, so maybe swapping onto some type of vape until 2 weeks after your op would be better that way you can still technically smoke but without the normal toxins? Hope this helps xx

    Hi all, I have Dr Mounier and he said he will be testing me for nicotine on the day of my op… I am so stressed, I have 23 days until my op but have been a heavy smoker for years…. I am not going to smoke from now until then but I am super paranoid that I will fail. Does anyone know if Dr Mounier does a test? What happens if the op is cancelled? Do I lose all of my money? So many questions and I am super stressed, looking for a friend! 💗

    I was tested on the 10th of December the day of my surgery after traveling 2 and half hours to get to the hospital. My test was described as a weak negative even tho I had quite vaping more then 6 weeks before hand, I was told he would not go ahead with the surgery and and as good as threw me out the hospital to then find out it will cost a further £2111.25 to reschedule or I will loose the 8 and a half grand I have already paid to them in full. I am obviously gutted and have researched heavy into nicotine tests and a weak negative is still very much a negative there was no reason for my op to be cancelled that day I would be very careful when dealing with these ppl I feel absolutely robbed of 8 and half grand
