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

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
