    Default BA's and pot (seriously lol)

    I know, I've been asking so many BA questions, ty for bearing with me. So I indulge in pot every once in awhile, and I know the doctor has to do blood tests before the surgery. Of course I'm going to stop 2 weeks before surgery to make sure my system is clear, but when do they usually do the test? Like a week before surgery, or a month before? And also if I happened to have THC in my system, will they even know/check for that?

    They wont check. The testing for drugs is seperate than the testing for surgery. They are checking for elevated white cell count, or anything that would indicate infection. They are just making sure your healthy for surgery.

    Ok I wasn't sure, or if you had to consent to the drug testing specifically or something.

    They shouldn't be looking for THC, but knock it off for a few weeks anyway and read absolutely everything they give you to sign. Make sure you understand every detail before you sign it.

    Any idea when they test? I've heard they have to do it like a week before to get accurate results. I just want to make sure I quit it when I need to and don't go for my consultation and get like a bloodtest the next day lol.

    Maybe it would be a good idea to stop smoking pot now until after you have the surgery. Just to play it safe.

    NO, NO, NO, they are looking for stuff like if you have a high white blood cell count that might indicate an infection or something else like that. Also to help figure out how much anesthesia (sp), what is your blood oxygen levels and such.

    Clotting factors to determine how you will heal, it's just stuff like that
    they don't give a darn if you smoke weed trust me.

    ask them what they are testing for, they will tell you stuff like this, i am sure.

    you don't want to take aspirin and one other pain reliever. either tylenol or ibuprfin, i forget which one but they should tell you that beforehand, ask about it! It is a concern you have and they should and will let you know.

    don't worry

    I was told to stop smoking cigarettes for at least 2 weeks before and 2 after surgery so my lungs would be in better shape to handle anesthesia.

    I'm sure at least the same is true for pot. You want your body to be as healthy as possible before going under...stop smoking everything now to ensure that. Plus if there is any pot in your system..theres a slight chance it could react with the anesthesia. Why take the chance?
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    I agree. I'm going in for my consult this Thursday and probably booking the surgery in 2 months so my body has enough time to get clean.

    A friend of mine told me that weed can increase your risk of developing capsular contracture. I'm not sure how accurate this is but it's something to think about.

    Googled it, didn't find anything. If she can get her source I'd appreciate it, if it's true it would be nice to know.

    smoking 'anything' decreases blood oxygenation and slows recovery time.

    I just called her and asked, she said she heard it somewhere and can't remember where. Why don't you ask your doctor at the consultation?

    You sign a consent for any tests they do. I can't imagine any reason they'd drug test you for a boob job. Believe me, doctors know that people smoke dope. They don't care unless it would somehow affect your surgery.

    I can see how cigs would be a major problem, but don't you smoke a lot less when it comes to pot? I mean, a couple of tokes compared to a pack a day is really negligible in the grand scheme. But, take a break if it's going to make you worry.

    Yeah when I do smoke it's less than like half a cigarette worth of pot. I guess I'll have to see how soon I'm booking it.
