Weed smoking before surgery

[Toccara36 0]

Hi everyone

I go and see the surgeon doctor on the 19th of this month, to get my date of my surgery.. I haven't smoke in 9 yrs until two days ago ( a blunt). Will it still cause complication and is it okay to go head and detox my lungs? Help

One blunt shouldn't cause a problem.

Thank you

Though I think you ought to make this one your last. You don't want THC showing up in any tests being performed.

Do they test you for THC? If so at what point would u need to worry about it. I have a consult today.

I had to do blood work before EGD, before surgery, and after surgery. Three weeks before my EGD blood work I took a couple hits off a pipe. No one said anything to me. Not sure if it didn’t show up, it wasn’t tested for, or if they didn’t care.

I regularly take marijuana edibles to help me sleep. Surgery is next week and I disclosed all of this to the nurses today during pre-op. They didn’t seem to have an issue but suggested I stop taking them this last week before surgery.

From what I’ve read, marijuana can remain active in your system for 2-3 days. After that it can hang around for up to a month in fatty cells but it is inactive and has no effect on surgery.

Blood tests show if you’ve used marijuana in the last few days. Urine shows for a month...but again, it’s inactive THC and doesn’t matter for surgery.

I happen to think that we as a society need to get over this reefer madness bullshit. THC has some wonderful health benefits. I had a hit of some vaporized stuff on Monday night from one of my neighbors. Good god did it feel good to get some relief from the discomfort of this liquid diet. It was nice having a dreamless sleep. LOL! I slept so well that I actually had 0 sleep apneas that night and 0 air leaks which probably meant that I stayed in one place the whole night. I woke up rested.

I never had anyone say anything to me if it did show up. I use it regularly but didn’t have any starting a week before.
