worried about my best friend



Recommended Posts

My best friend had lap-band surgery about 6 months ago and lost alot of weight but, she smokes marijuana. Is this going to hurt her? Does anyone know the effects of marijuana on the lap-band?:cry

I would assume it is the same as smoking cigarettes. How in the world does she handle the munchies? Yeek that would be very hard!

I think the only thing I would worry about would be her getting the munchies and wanting to eat. I don't necessarily condone smoking marijuana, however, I don't see any more harm coming from smoking that than say regular tobacco cigs. Not that they aren't harmful, but you KWIM, it isn't crack or heroin. I have always thought it rediculous they never legalized it myself.

She said she doesn't get hungry! she just makes a smoothie or she eats yogurt and she's fine because she gets full really quick anyway. I just thought that would harm something in the long run. I use to smoke also and I got mad muchies! (LOL) I am about to get banded in 3 months and she says that she's fine. I was thinking of long term effects.

sorry, KWIM, means know what I mean. lol

You know as for long term, I don't even know if there would be an data about something like that. In my opinion I wouldn't think it would be much different then anyone else. But, what do I know? lol

It means, she must be hungry because she's eating something ..the smoothie or yogurt as it may be.

PS. If she has the lap band that means she has problems with her weight, why would she want to risk her health even more by smoking....i mean...there is no surgery for decaying lungs or any of the other nasty side effects from smoking.....

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
