Just took my blood test: marijuana an issue?



Recommended Posts

I just took my blood test and I had smoked the night before. I know it shows up in tests like that, and last night was my last night of smoking. I did not think it would be a problem, but after taking a pee test and 5 vials I got nervous

That being said, will that detection of THC make them decide I cannot have the surgery? I already have a date and paid and everything ...

Since you're self pay it probably won't be as big of a deal as it would be if you were going through insurance. That being said, I guess my biggest concern would be how it would affect your psych eval (if one is required); they might think you have an addictive personality due to your drug use which might be a red flag. :(

I already passed that portion and even told my psych person that I smoked and intended to quit everything like that! So hopefully it Wont be an issue? Thank you for your help! I feel a little better, I just would think it's unnecessary to not Le me have the surgery if tHc showed in my blood tests or pee test. Especially since they're just checking for my cholesterol etc.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
