Thanks Charmia,
Not sure if everyone necessarily feels hunger after smoking weed, but in this case it seems like you took a chance an conquered, but not tempting yourself sounds like the way to go.

@@charmia, that's my take on it, too. I think that since smoking marijuana lowers inhibitions, you could end up making bad food choices and/or overeating. I'm not a smoker but if I was, I would avoid it post surgery.
Just my $.02: Lets be careful how we use the term addiction. If it's applied indiscriminately to every behavior we don't approve of, it loses its meaning.

Please be kind to each other on this site - aren't all of us trying to stay positive about perhaps the hardest things we have ever done? I know I am. I come to this site for inspiration and answers - not to read others being negative about others' choices. Be respectful please. You don't have to agree with what others do, but no need to hate. This is hard enough.

um...pot=munchies. I'm voting no for now.

Luckily I only had normal shedding, so no hair loss for this gal!! But, I have been taking Biotin for about 4 years prior to surgery to grow out a short short pixie cut (which was NOT the best cut for me as obese as I was.....but no one told me that!!) My hair is long and wavy. and thick and full. I had the fear, but it wasn't enough to stop me from getting healthy with this surgery. I figured...if I was one of the unlucky ones who lost their hair, they make wigs, or I could shave my head and deal with it. Nothing was going to stop me from this life changing/saving procedure! Sleeves ROCK!
