Well......this question will certainly open a can of worms. I 'm going to get my comment in before the s**t storm hits.

I'm in Texas. We do not have medical marijuana. We still have to get it from the trusty neighborhood stoner. Keep in mind that I would not be considered a heavy user. I'm a lightweight user. There has been no problem, no additional issues with acid reflux, and it has not been a gateway to more dangerous drugs. No transfer of addiction from food to drugs or alcohol either. It did not slow my recovery after surgery nor did it cause me to eat uncontrollably.

Obviously your surgeon will warn you against using marijuana. If you try it post op and it causes you any problems then don't do it again. If not then light one up and enjoy your double chocolate Protein shake.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but this was a question I asked to because I smoke it too! From what my doctor said that it shouldn't be a problem. Cigarettes are a problem and should not be used before or after surgery. But weed was ok with him, if my body agreed with it!
