blood test to see if you are still smoking-

pretty pretty please.......not lectures LOL...I am having Plastic surgery Aug 5th- When I went for my consult, My nurse told me I needed to quit smoking 2 weeks prior to surgery- (she was new in the office) Well, I'm now 2 weeks from surgery (and quit today), and I was looking through my paperwork, that (silly me) I didn't read beforehand- Well it says the Dr. has a new requirement to quit one MONTH before surgery- It says they will test the morning of surgery to make sure the patient has quit (of course I understand why)...I am totally freaking out- I am very healthy, I can run up a flight up stairs with no problem- Does anyone have any idea if I will pass the test he gives me? How long can smoking be detected? I have an ENORMOUS amount of skin on my belly, that causes me unbearable pain, I NEED to have this removed NOW- I do not want to "be honest" and postpone my surgery- So what I need to know is will he be able to tell I quit 2 weeks prior to surgery, and not 4 ???? Was anyone else tested the morning of surgery ? Sure would appreciate any replys !!! Signed- Shaking in my boots
