How Long Does Alcohol Remain In The System For A Test?
Question: I have my first appointment to start on the path to bariatric surgery. I am 250 pounds and 5foot 5. I quit smoking weed 33 days ago and cigarettes 12 days ago. I was a heavy user of both.

I would suggest you not to worry and panic they usually test for fitness regarding surgery and anaesthesia..like heart and blood works etc not much emphasis is put on drug screen.
Even if they do I don't expect anything significant to be shown in your blood, I would suggest you to drink good quantity of water and do not worry about anything showing up in your system after 33 days of stopping.
They may test you on the very first day but it usually depends upon protocols set by a particular centre.
