does anyone smoke pot? what do you think would happen if I did?

i haven't since months before my surgery, but will be seeing some people this weekend for labor day and kind of want to.

i don't want to harm anything. I'm 2 1/2 weeks post - op.

thanks!:biggrin:

I am really glad other people posted. Some great thoughts

Miss Mouse, definitely be honest with your surgeon, he can't take anything away from you, and get his advice on the subject. Good luck and happy toking if you go for it...

Excellent thought because my doctor once said, "I'm your doctor not your priest."

After a few months, I don't see how smoke could effect a bandster any differently.

HOWEVER, I would be very careful about substituting other comfort for the food you used to eat. Especially in this early stage. The lap band is only a physical tool, you need to be aware of your psychological food issues and grow in this process or you will be back at square one.

If you want to smoke (or drink or use prescription drugs) because you are itching to soothe yourself with food, I would not do it. Let yourself feel every step of this process and be open to what comes up.

But if it's just a social one time thing I don't think it's a big deal.

Those of us with addictive behhaviors concur. It would be super easy for me to switch out alcholol for good. Gaurd yourself.

well, i smoke cigs and my doc knows it. i don't think weed could be any worse as long as you watch those munchies

Unfiltered smoke. Hotter, coughing and that impact.

Mouse ...Check with your doctor.
