LATINGODDESS got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Marijuana and Life after Bariatric SurgeryWow. The fur is flying. Can't we all agree to disagree. This lady obviously felt comfortable enough to ask a personal question in hopes to not be bashed. But all anyone can do is bash her about smoking marijuana. She needs opinions from others that can relate, not ignorance from those who can't. We are all here for a common cause, to support each others weight loss journeys. Remember the old saying, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

LATINGODDESS reacted to OKCPirate in Marijuana and Life after Bariatric SurgeryI fully get why they don't want smoking (all types), snuff, snuss or tobacco. Too hard on stomach trying to heal following surgery. I still find it amazing how the stomach heals and contains all the acid following surgery. But the thread morphed into an interesting discussion. Glad to be with adults who can look at these issues and discuss their concerns in a fun and interesting way with out too much judgement.
One of my favorite quotes was from a pastor who opposed Prohibition when he said "Very little good comes from the Absolute Shall." BTW if you have not seen the Ken Burns documentary on Prohibition, worth watching especially in light of the new discussion on drug policy going on today: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/television/2011/09/ken_burns_prohibition_reviewed_a_fascinating_series_about_the_no.html

"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.
