Smoking marijuana 24 hours before surgery?

I know I shouldn't have but I just took a few puffs of a joint about an hour ago, and I'm scheduled to have surgery tomorrow at 11 am. It's an endoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). I have a good tolerance for weed though and don't really feel anything anyway (although i know it's still in my system)...I don't do any other drugs. Think I'm in the clear here? Thanks so much guys ♥

Smoking marijuana 24 hours before surgery?
I had my gallbladder removed last November and smoked pot most of the day before. Also had surgery in May and smoked a lot the day before with no problems either time. My doctor is well aware of my drug use. I even admitted to using it when I pre-registered at the hospital.

You coulda smoked a fat pound and it wouldn't hurt you one way or the other!





Just don't succumb to the munchies! I think that eating 24 hour before is a no, no!
Reply:Drink a lot of fluids and go to a health store and pick up some pills that clean out your system.
Reply:You will be fine, just don't smoke anymore... and ignore that idiot that called you a loser..was that really necessary.
Reply:Marijuana is totally HARMLESS! You'll have no ill effects from a couple of puffs. If nothing else,it'll help calm you down. Don't smoke right after surgery. You don't want to cough,and risk pulling out any stitches. Do some reading on the history of pot. It's quite interesting!
Reply:Bad idea. Never smoke it, period.
Reply:I think your fine....
Reply:lol i just bought some and smoked it right before i went in i had no problems.
Reply:Probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but you are most likely okay. I would definitely mention it to your doctor before surgery. They are going to need to know that.
Reply:Weed will not leave your system in 24 hours. 48 maybe. 72 definitely (assuming you aren't a heavy, steady smoker.)


They can't do anything about it being in your system. I don't see why they would test you anyways. My advice would be not to worry about it.





Good luck with your surgery!
Reply:I would probably puff one right before I left for the appointment. It's only buds...
Reply:let your anethesist know before the onset of surgury because then he will be in a position to adjust the dose of aneaesthetics to be administerd and thus not prolong the post operative recovery time or any other possible complication during or after the operation since the effects of marihuana are quite simmilar to that of the medications used to aneasthesise the patient
Reply:Seriously, ask your doctor. They have heard way worse than this. Trust me, don't listen to a bunch of random people on a website, call your medical professional.
Reply:don't take advice from anyone that can't spell "doctor"


and you should be fine, no worries. cant speak from experience but think of all the hippies that made it. lol.


best of luck to you!
Reply:Been there. Done that. No problem.
Reply:It won't mess up ur surgery at all. If they are going to drug test you then you are screwed. But as for the surgery part, you'll be fine! :o)
Reply:I wouldn't have done it, but you can't go back in time, so good luck.
Reply:there not gonna drug test you damn!
Reply:you will be fine if smoke two joints when get home to recover
Reply:I have a friend that did the same thing then went in for shoulder surgery he told the nurse and she said they tell everyone that basically to scare them he didnt smoke much either so I wouldnt get blazed then go
Reply:i dont think its very wise seriously why even DO you do drugs of any kind. thats pretty messed up... but good luck with surgery
Reply:Way to go, Spicoli!
Reply:Medical Science can find even a small trace of garbage in your bloodstream. They will ask you. Don't lie to them. Just admit it that you did it. They will probably postpone your surgery until you die then your parents won't have to pay such a high medical bill, since you never had to spend time in recovery.
Reply:ask your doctor. you could die from complications! not a question for YA people





the rest of you fools should smoke my hotdog
Reply:The pot gave you the problem in the first place. You need help.
Reply:way to do it..Lol!

Reply:Why are you smoking weed anyway? It's illegal, addictive and really bad for you. You should tell your surgeon asap.
Reply:Stop smoking weed until you're fully healed from your operation.
