My company tests for tobacco on new hires.  If they give you a urine test I think tobacco only stays in your system 48-72 hours. I'm not sure if it stays longer if they do a blood test.  Just try not to smoke anymore.  If you come back positive explain the situation.

Stop smoking! Your health is important. Think about why you are doing surgery. You are stressed but you have the strength to stop. Imagine the day that you could be rejected for surgery. Would you say the cigarettes are worth it? Now be strong my sister on your journey to success pick your head up and hang in there you can do it!

Everywhere I've looked says anywhere from 48-96 hours. Drinking lots of water and exercising helps to flush your system too.

It's up to your surgeon. You may get some understanding, or there may be a hard fast rule of a positive nicotine test and no surgery.  Smoking post op leads to the high possibility of ulcers, requiring surgery, one or more.   Stressors will lead to eat the wrong things too, so you need to figure out how to deal with this issue.  Hope you get your surgery. DAVE

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. I hope you will find some comfort in your memories of her.  

I just spoke to a lab tech today when I had some blood work done. I had asked her about my fiance testing positive for nicotine since he is using the nicotine patches. ( btw..the pre-surgery test can tell the difference)  The nicotine is out of your system within a day or two, but it is NOT only nicotine that they are testing for, It is the BY-PRODUCTS of cigarettes (such as carbon monoxide) that they also test for. These by-products can remain in your system for 2 weeks or longer.     

No one ever tested me for nicotine - I can't beleive they do that!!!

Thanks everyone  for your replies

You can still be excited about your upcoming surgery! In fact you should be! Do not try to hide the fact that you smoked two cigerettes following a stressful time. However, BE AWARE that this is a trigger for you. How to manage and cope without turning to things that are harmful or detrimental to your health especially following weight loss surgery. Seek help from the professionals on dealing and coping with stress during this time. WLS is stressful, painful and mournful all at the same time. Look at this as a blessing so that you can be prepared post-op on managing emotions, which it seems like it's difficult for you at this time to do.

Let your surgeon know that you smoked and it was a wake up call for you on needing more tools to cope with emotional issues.... Be proactive not guilt driven.

I am sorry for you loss, losing our loved ones are never easy no matter what age we are. Find comfort and peace in God.

God Bless you.
