I didn't quit for the surgery (I quit 6 months prior for other reasons) but my dr told me, too, that they do test for nicotine & won't operate if there is any in your system. You need to quit now so your surgery isn't in jepordy.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
