December 18, 201213 yr Will smoking pot have any problems with having the gastric bypass surgery?? Fred Montana JR
December 18, 201213 yr I have never ever smoke pot. I wanted to try it but too late now lmbo don't want ulcers to happen.
December 18, 201213 yr Author i've been smoking since I was 15 and im 23 now and when I found out I was going to have surgery 2 months ago I stopped. its nothing bad like people think. I don't drink alcohol, I think it should be illegal Fred Montana JR
December 18, 201213 yr I've stopped too Fred. My friend has this stuff called tinctures. It's spray w thc in it. She said use that for tummy aches, but just not too often. Even if you don't get ulcers from smoking, after surgery I don't want anything dropping my metabolism
December 19, 201213 yr Hi LB, I am also a (former) thc user, I had used for approx 15 years and recently quit (not just for surgery) aside from the risks that being a smoker creates for the "going under" part of the surgery, I personally found that on the two occaisions I have smoked (both times as pain management) since surgery (aug 9 2012) I found I felt sick, nauseous, got dangerous munchies and ZERO motivation to get anything done! I would honestly say that if you are considering having the surgery, which is a MAJOR life/behaviour altering process I would advocate for the ceassation of using all drugs, alcohol and tobacco. It jusy makes sense to focus on ALL aspects of ones health. Good luck in your endeavors!
December 19, 201213 yr I thought so too, but in all honesty I don't miss it at all! I thought I would miss all that junk food too, but I am SO much happier without all that crap dragging me down "It works if you work it, so work it you're worth it!!"
December 19, 201213 yr Author yeah well I don't drink alcohol im against it I think it should be illegal, I don't use any tobacco products and I don't use any other kind of drug, ive only tried mushroom's and that's it. im 23 and the last timd I got drunk was my 21st birthday. Fred Montana JR
December 20, 201213 yr I agree with the alcohol thing, I think it is deplorable that the government not only allows but makes a horrifying mockery of the damage it causes (illness, death, violence, destruction, addictions, abuse, motor vehicle accidents ect ect ect) but I digress, your question was about thc and I simply MUST reiterate that while it as a substance has it's own pros and cons, in conjunction with the surgery I do not believe it will assist your success by any measurable degree...
December 20, 201213 yr Hmm...Smoking may increase hunger and over time decrease motivation...not a good combination in my opinion after surgery. It may be better to avoid it. This is a lifestyle change! Good luck

December 20, 201213 yr lol you sure have a good way with words hunn Fred Montana JR Haha thanks, I am far more intelligent than I look (or so I have been told) plus if I "tocked lyke dis" I would probably have to have myself euthanized Also, I have a kid to be a role model for, and I adore language skills, not just english.
