Weed

[amy2014 2]

Hi All,

I'm 1 Month post op and had a questions about smoking weed.

I was a chronic user before my surgery but stopped smoking a month before my operation.

Have any of you smoked after surgery? I dont have a vaporizer but I have a pipe and a bong.

I asked my PA and she said that it should be fine, but I want people's personal experiences.

Besides the munchies, what would go wrong with smoking from a pipe or bong? I'm looking into getting a vape but it's expensive.

Thoughts?

I know it's not the same but at christmas I was stressed so I smoked some cigarettes and well it ended up putting me in the hospital for a week. I ended up getting very dehydrated CUZ it hurt to drink, long story short smoking gave me ulcers on my digestive track. I'm 6 weeks post op and still struggling to get my Water in and throw up constantly.

Great question! I have been tempted also due to my anxiety.

I started smoking 2 weeks after my surgery and I felt perfect . I'm a daily user. I am about 8 weeks out. I had surgery Nov 20 .

Invest in a Volcano vaporizer. My friends who partake tell me that it's the safest method of ingestion.

I would assume that the same rules apply that are in place for tobacco use (assuming you are smoking it, not using an edible). I was told absolutely no smoking.

Ask your surgeon

[Petunia1 114]

Yes surgeons are the one with the best answer just my personal experience on how long I waited .

[quote name="berkeleycurves" I used my vape pen the first couple days then went old school but I switch it up once and in awhile.

Sorry to be negative but do you really think smoking weed is in line with the healthy lifestyle you want? It slows you down, increases appetite, numbs you out, bad for your lungs. Just saying... Is it worth it? Not that I'm one to talk I know we all need our ways to relax.
