Yay! I have the same. Good to know. Thanks for circling back, wishing you all the best as well. ❤️

I was honest with my doctor about light weed use (1-2/week, sometimes edibles, sometimes flower, but very little at a time). In order to not get denied by insurance, I had to tell my insurance coordinator that I was quitting. She wrote down the date I quit, and then I had to go in for a drug test 90 days later. I am under the impression that I will need to be drug tested once more before my surgery. One of the reasons they gave me for this is because they need to demonstrate that I'm not a smoker before they will sign off on surgery, and the other reason is that marijuana is an appetite stimulant and the insurance company needs to see that marijuana isn't the cause of my morbid obesity and inability to lose weight on my own (lol -- as if). I am under the impression that if I had lied, as I'm sure many people do, about taking marijuana sometimes, I would not have been drug tested. But different doctors likely have varying policies. And, regardless, you have to make sure you're in a place where you're ready to never smoke again. What is unclear to me after attempts to research is what negative effects, if any, could come from edible forms of THC. It really seems like smoking specifically is the problem, but I am not a scientist. Good luck!

I'm curious about what happened. Are you interested in sharing? I'm in a similar boat. I have one month left of dietician visits and I need to somehow take off the weight I've gained. It's daunting.
