Unlikely: It is unlikely that you would be tested for nicotine prior to a surgical procedure.

Be aware: One of the many reasons surgeons don't want to do elective surgery on smokers is they don't heal well=more complications. Nicotine strangles the capillaries that are needed for tissue to regrow/heal after surgery. It is unlikely they would test you before surgery, but this is something you need to be aware of. If you want to heal, do not take up smoking any time in the post operative period.
