Post-Surgery Pot Usage??!?!! HELP!

Hey everyone,

So i'm goin to this rad 3 day party on a beach and of course there's gonna be a LOT of pot goin around throughout the tents and trees. This is my problem. I just had a minor surgery to remove some tissue from my chest 6 days ago. For this type of surgery it is recommended that you can go back to work a week later. The party is exactly a week later, but I still have small bandages on where the incisions where made. So, i'm just wondering if there's a medical person of sorts out there that might have an opinion on this.

Do you think it would be advisable to smoke pot in such a state?

Thanks!

 

Smoking pot should have no effect what so ever on your surgical area, lol. Toke up my brotha!!

 

Thanks Dude,

The only thing i'm worried about it getting so high that I bump into a tree and rip my stiches...eww

i'm be careful...lol

=)

 

Tokes is right, but if anyone is in this situation, you can probably ask your doctor. They cant tell anyone that you merely asked about it, not even your parents.

 

well i aint no medical person...but i say...just do it, who cares, you'll be fine.

haha dont blame me if anything happens to ya though. lol.

but seriously, i think it will all be fine.

 

oh yeah, p.s i think stiches look so cool! right on!
how did you get it anyways? i dont get it?

 

unless they took something out of your lung, you're good to go. Just take it easy so you don't bust any stitches and you'll be fine. Have fun!

 

I've read that you're generally supposed to refrain from smoking for 2 weeks after surgery. Then again, they also advise you to refrain from sex for that long and I'm pretty sure no one does that. =P I'd say go ahead with it, but take it just a bit easier than usual. There is still a whole summer to get stoned into retardation...

 

it doesnt seem like smokin pot would hurt u.. but i'd go with what someone said above, thats, ask your doctor. they're used to that kinda question

however, do not listen to DejaVoo, i mean, "just do it, who cares" ? (obvviously Trancehead does or he wouldnt ask) and um.. "stiches look so cool!" ?! whatever

 

dont ask your bloody doctor lol thats a waste of resources, just make srue you dont bump your stiches

 

call the doctor lol...if it were me though i'd probly do it but just take light hits so i didnt cough..cuz im sure that shit is kinda soar.

 

Done it after- well, more surgeries than I care to think about. No problem.

BUT, tobbacco smoke is EXTREMELY detrimental to new skin growth, so stay away from smokers
