Medical marihuana post op



Recommended Posts

That's, the cool thing about Cali and the other states that it's "legal" there are so many ways to use it and the strains they have developed take away the undesirable(or desireable depending on your reaction to it) there are strains that don't give you the munchies or paranoia. I smoked once in the late 80s and the paranoia was so bad, I had an anxiety attack. But to be able to exclude those things that don't agree with you and still have the benefits that do, would be awesome. I'm hoping Kentucky will be one of those states soon. We're already reviving the hemp crops and Mj is already our second biggest export(next to bourbon) and as a pretty poor state the money to be made from it would be a boon for our states economy.

Hey Crow, yay that your doctor approved the mj! Sounds like it works well for you. Truth be told, I'd rather use it than the hydrocodone I was on but in the first days after surgery I would have bitten a bullet or chewed a leather strap if that's what they gave me ! Lol!

Yeah it's been a great choice for me! It's great to know that it is an option available, of course only in some states. ????

I am researching medical marijuana to help with nausea, and side effects I am experiencing due to being newly diagnosed with MS. I know some. Peoples have had success, but feel strange about if since I have not experimented with anything like this since college 30 years ago.

BTW- medical marijuana was recently legalized in any form with the exception of smoking it in NYS. I'm so glad I was diagnosed after being sleeved or I would have been unable due to an autoimmune exception in the policy without a long fight.

I am in washington, a friend of mine uses med weed for similar reasons you do. She was sleeved 1 year ago. Her surgeon said it was okay, and actually kindnof encouraged it, it does help with appetite, if you struggle getting calories in. I imagine edibles are more of a problem with the sugar and carbs..

Oxycodone is percocet, yes, an opiate, but not close to heroin, that would be oxyCONTIN.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
