i am going into surgery tomorrow. it is nothing serious, it is just a small keyhole operation on my knee to fix some cartlidge and it will be over in less then half an hour. anyway, i am going to be completly knocked out on anesthetic and i was readin a info booklet thing and it said that the anesthesia person asks questions before hand such as how long since you last smoked and if you do drugs. i dont think the smoking question is an issue, but the last time i did weed was about a month ago i think. anyone no if any of this is gonna have an effect on the anesthesia?
As long as you haven't smoked in the past three days, you should be fine. Also, you shouldn't smoke after the surgery.
You'll be perfectly fine. Whenever you go to surgery just tell them the truth and if they dont feel you are ready then they wont operate. I wouldnt worry about a thing though.
woohoo, just got outta surgery, everything went so well. they didnt even ask me any drugs questions. got a lot of nice pain killers and some crutches. lots of fun actually, im very grateful that my first operation was something so easy and simple
