No, one can't use that type of vaporizer for vaping weed. It's a totally different appliance. Google marijunana vaporizer. Well known brands are Volcano, Silver Surfer, Da Buddha, Iolite, Pax, Da Vinci. There are dozens of others. Some require electricity, and these are your bigger in-home models. Some are battery operated, and these are your smaller portable models.

All of them are expensive compared to just smoking, but it's worth the investment to save yourself from the carcinogens.

Why is there advice for how to vape weed on VST? I am just scratching my head over this. Not condoning you use ( as it is legal in my state of WA now), but maybe another type of forum would be better for this topic than VST.

@fiddleman ppl are genuinely concerned about the effects of smoking if you've have vgs surgery. As for me, I get caveman sized munchies so I came looking to see how the munchies effect your sleeve, or vice versa. Also, some ppl suggest using it to help with the pain and anxiety of surgery for the first few weeks or whatever. It seems bogus but it really is a relevant topic.

I believe the original poster asked about using weed in conjunction with being sleeved. I also believe it is no different than asking about alcohol or sex or exercise. If one is going to use weed let's encourage them to do it in the healthiest manner, just as we would advise eating and drinking in moderation.

There are lots of subforums, subgroups, threads unrelated to vsg on this site, such as gay/lesbian, Christian, men's room (where I believe this thread is).

You are correct in your statement of diversity to support many different backgrounds that are represented here on VST. I believe that most doctors have asked patients to give up smoking for the surgery. Mine also said to not smoke afterwards because of ulcers, etc. Maybe it would be a good idea just to follow the advice of the doctor as he has your well being in mind when setting up the "lifestyle" rules. I am aware that in spite of doctor advice, people are going to do it anyways for whatever their reason so, yes, it is a good idea to offer advice that will prevent said smoker from damaging themselves. Sorry if I missed that point above.

You can make capsules using readily available empty Gelatin capsules and healthy coconut oil. Google is your friend.

IM FOUR WEEKS POST AND I SMOKED AM I GONNA BE OK?

Yes you'll be fine. I'm also just past four weeks out and I've smoked just about every day for the past two weeks and have been fine. Just try other options before resorting to smoking, it's better in the long run for you.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
