hey everyone i just need some opinions im a pot smoker and my surg is 18 days away i cut down to just smoking to 1 or twice a day? if i just plane quit 5 days before surgery do you think there will be a problem? iv been trying so hard to just quit, i dont smoke cigarettes just 1 or 2 joints a day to calm my nerves so please if anyone can relate please respond

Hello, I was wondering how everything went for you, I am getting sleeved on 11/15/17, my pre op is 11/3/17, but I'm nervous because I use MJ, and I don't want my surgery delayed. So my question is do they drug test at the pre op appointment?

I didn’t get drug or nicotine tested but I think it depends on your insurance and what history you have disclosed to your doctor. My insurance technically requires a nicotine test but I don’t have smoking history so i think they just waived it. I’m not sure what my surgeon’s policy on MMJ is. It’s legal in my state so it really shouldn’t be a barrier to surgery. But that’s purely my opinion.

Hi all..wow there are a lot of strong opinions about mj! I am a nurse and I smoke mj in moderation to reduce anxiety and stress, its helped me more than any pill can..mj has actually been used for thousands of years for its medicinal healing properities! It is not at all like smoking tobacco not even close! I am quitting now because I'm having surgery in 2 wks and want my outcomes to be the best they can possibly be! I don't plan on smoking after surgery for at least 3 months..I just think people should really do their research about mj before commenting and or passing judgment on someone else!

I don't pass judgment, but I think folks care about others that are posting and the risk of an ulcer is to some not worth it and they in cautioned worry just respond as such. Not so much a strong opinion but strong concern for others because of the very real complications with smoking or vaping anything. I have a brother that struggles with pot smoking and as much as I'm able to my heart goes out to those who do. I just would hate to see all the hard effort be for nothing at best and life threating at worst.

You must understand that because marijuana has a variety of effects on the body and on anesthesia medicines, it is crucial that anyone undergoing a preoperative evaluation disclose their marijuana use. There is no need to worry about what your anesthesiologist will think of you. His job is to understand your health and body in order to provide you with the safest and most pain-free procedure. Using marijuana after the surgery is not recommended, although at https://weedsmart.net/product-category/magic-mushrooms-canada/ you can find some special products which you can use whenever you will want to.

There are many studies indicating the harm of using opioid painkillers after surgery. As for cannabis, there is still too little data on its influence because studies are only being conducted. For example, in the UK, an experiment was conducted during which people who underwent surgery were prescribed cannabis extract as an analgesic. I am engaged in the sale of marijuana. When the seo team launches ads on the social networks of my store, statistics show that most of the buyers are people who are rehabilitating after surgery.

I was an avid smoker. Spent time in rehab. I have a whole new perspective on looking at things. If it is prescribed to you more power to you.
