Sister, Smoking Monkey is our resident dentist, which I hope is OK that I told you. She has the same medical background that physicians do and has the added bonus of knowing how anesthesia/analgesia work, too.

Please tell your anesthesiologist about your nicotine use before he/she puts you under on Friday. My husband, who may sign on after I finish here, is an interventional cardiologist. He does procedures three days a week in which people are put under some type of anesthesia. He just said "I'd feel a hell of a lot better about her smoking a bowl of weed after she gets home from her surgery than more cigarettes." He doesn't just say that because of the everyday risks we all know about tobacco. He means so your tissues can heal, the bleeding can stop and so you don't give yourself post-op complications like deep vein thromboses.

Do check in with us when you get home on Friday!
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . I'm scared, & need some immediate help guys!! Hi everyone!! I posted this over in the "experiences" section, but they suggested that I post it over here, too. I know I'm a little late, since I may not be able to get back online after tonight, so hopefully you guys can help me tonight or I can sneak on for a few minutes this week!! Thanks for any help!! I'm having some minor surgery on Friday. I smoke weed every day, & was told this is really bad before going under anesthesia. I don't know when to stop, AND when I can start up again. I Rating: 5
