Smoking before surgery

I was wondering if its okay to smoke marijuana before surgery. I know your not supposed to smoke cigarettes. I smoke marijuana for medical reasons, and get it from the cannabis clubs (I dont buy from street drug dealers). If i have to stop for awhile, is it safe to smoke after I recover from surgery? If I were to smoke after surgery, munchies wouldnt be a problem because I dont get the munchies.This may be a stupid question but can smoking expand the stomach? The reason im curious is because sometimes when you take too big of a hit you can end up burping up a little bit of smoke.Any information is very much appreciated.

I suggest you ask your surgeon to be sure. I'd say no prior to surgery because of the effect on your lungs. Post op....no clue. Your doc should know.
