Question for anyone out there experienced with this. As canna butter uses butter as the base, will this cause dumping syndrome?

After surgery I will continue my usage as well it's a self medication and I'm not seeing any harm in MJ it's not the same as tabacco and alcohol and it is true that not everyone gets the munchies and for those who do get the munchies it's because you smoke before you eat....you have to eat before you smoke so your tummy can be already satisfied all you should need is a tall cold glass of Water but everybody is different so just do what works for you

"Deal with it Babe"?
Thank you for that very well articulated response regarding the correlation of smoking Marijuana and it's effects on post Bariatric surgery patients. I also appreciated your well thought out response and obvious expertise about the dangers of addiction and addiction transfer post WLS. Your critical thinking skills must be the envy of all your peers.
I'll bet you're fun at parties.

This topic is merely being presented as an educational topic with hopes that there has been experiences in the use of Marijuana after bariatric surgery. I smoke marijuana maybe once a week like having a glass of red sangria to relax after a long hard week. Although I'm not a frequent user, I am wondering if I will be able to use it after surgery. Fact for me is that it does induce hunger and I am sure this would not be condusive to being successful after the sleeve, but let's be real, there may be users out there who give it try. Unfortunately, there are not any concrete studies on this either like there is for tobacco and alcohol users.
So feel free to enlighten and share your thoughts.
Thanks!

I don't really know much about Bariatrics and pot but I think when they say wait 3 months I think they are meaning the smoke or any smoke for that matter, I mean come on people with ulcerative colitis, cancer etc eat the edibles to help them, the only thing is for edibles, you are on liquids and then mush for the first 3-4 weeks depending on your dr, so edibles should be broth, or creamed Soups, no sugars etc. if I were you I'd tweak the directions of food for the edibles to be right so you don't cause any leaks with solids etc. maybe some in tea. Even the Vape may cause some issues so for while your stomach is healing from being cut by 80% and that removed and while your staples and stitch is healing to stay clean and then talk to your dr tell the dr so they can help you incorporate it back into your regiment. But that's my opinion always check with your doctor.

Hi,
I M Pre op, I have a really bad back (double discectomy/laminectomy) and in order to prep for the gastric bypass surgery. I have to stop all NSAIDS, these are important to me as they prevent pain to a certain degree. I have a friend who controls pain with medical marijuana. I am in the process of getting my license for medical marijuana. I plan on making tea with it as this is probably a better way to enjoy the pain control benefits of Cannabis. If I cannot use NSAIDS anymore, I have to come up with alternatives to control pain. vaporizer if not an option, tea will be.
Cheers,

I drink Water 8-10 times a day, OH MY GOD! I must be addicted whatever will I do? using pot once a week is not frequent at all. before your surgery I bet you had more chocolate bars a week then that, which is much more harmful then one puff a week. before you comment I did not do drugs until I saw the results for my friend as a way to control pain. I have started just recently as a way to find an alternative method of pain control for chronic pain from Back surgery(Medical prescription). someone having a puff once a week is not an addiction, Jadama22 continue your recreational use, you are hardly an addict.

it surprises me the amount of people hating on them because they want to do cannabis. we all have different reason for wanting to visit this alternative, for me it is for pain control, and the medial prescription route. I have to quite NSAIDS and the thought of this scares me as back spasms and pain are common without my NSAIDS. I have a friend who has a medical marijuana license and it controls his back pain. the munchies are not that severe, I have found making tea with the marijuana, does not give me the munchies. As for Nikkibear 24 your ignorance towards his use of Cannibus is shocking, and I'll bet he is 110% glad he doesn't have to work with you. walk a mile in someone else's shoes before you pass judgement.

I would hardly call once a week an addiction? So someone who has a glass of wine or a beer once a week is addicted? Your ignorance and prejudice about Marijuana is showing....
