Smokers – nicotine test?

Hi Ladies,
im just curious to know if anyone had a nicotine test the day of their op? X

No, only a pregnancy test. They said 2 weeks before op to stop, but when I got there it said no smoking on the day of the op, online said nicotine stays in system for 3 days. So all dates vary, but I would go with what your surgeon advises which is normally 2 weeks. Then believe me, you won’t feel like having one anytime soon after the op xo

I did opp was cancelled and had to go back two weeks later when all nicotine was out my system x

I’m a smoker & im booked in for surgery on the 15th Dec. I’m not taking any chances as Mr Mounir told me at my consultation in no uncertain terms would he perform surgery if nicotine was found in my blood on the day of the op xx

Get a vape with no nicotine in! They’re great plus the less nicotine the better and stronger the different flavours are. You can always get tobacco flavour if that helps!

Seriously try the vape cos nicotine in ur blood may cause complications healing like any operation fx

Thanks ladies. I’ve got a vape but just need to get one that has no nicotine in it! X

Omg help my opp is next Wednesday and can’t give up for the life of me ???????? xx

I got given a choice stop smoking or loose 5grand the shock and thought of that made me stop straight away x

I smoked and stopped two weeks before, not worth the risk, I’ve still stopped now, 6 weeks today so pretty proud of myself ! Xx

Katie, how did you get on with giving up?! Xx

Hi Emma! It was very hard the first two weeks as I’m also dieting aswell! But I just didn’t want to lose my money or have to wait for my op even longer if I had a test! Then I got a chest infection after my op so I couldn’t even bare a cig, then I realised I’d saved about £100 (just under) and thought I may aswell try and give up now! 8 weeks today I’ve not had one for!! Xxx

Wow well done you! Hope your recovery is going well xxx

Argh two weeks today!! I always use my ecig, but have been on 18mg.. Bought some 0.mg and started today but omg I can tell there’s nothing in it. -_- tearing my hair out Already
