I smoked 2 days before my knee surgery, not realizing the effects it may have on my anesthesia. I was scared and went 1 full day without marijuana. On surgery day, I spoke to my orthopedic surgeon and the anesthesiologist; they both assured me that it wouldn't be a problem. My anesthesiologist literally shrugged it off and said, "eh, it shouldn't have a big effect." I am sharing my experiences to hopefully ease the nerves of my fellow 420 pre-OP friends. This was my 3rd surgery. I will be getting another surgery soon. Edit: Today, I had had my 4th and hopefully last ever surgery on my knees. I stopped smoking 3 days before surgery and had no issues with anesthesia. You will be fine if you stop a few days before surgery (: I tore my MCL in high school, then ACL in college playing football. ACL reconstruction failed and had to be repaired; this alone required 2 surgeries due to tunnels from original surgery being too large. Thanks for all the comments. I'm glad I could help!
@@aaronolson8701 appreciate that so much how long did you wait before I have a wax pen and It’s currently 6pm and I get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning at 11
Guys I smoked weed up until literally 12 hours before my surgery (only because I wanted to get 8 hours of sleep and then 4 hours worth of time for getting up and going to the surgery. I told the surgeon before and he said that the only problem is they have to use more anesthesia so as long as you’re ok with that it’s all good 👍🏻

I can't speak of major surgery because I had minor surgery. Gallbladder removed. Got taken to my knees one day from sudden pain. Went to the ER and needed to stay the night because I needed it removed asap in the morning. I went home smoked 2 huge joints went back And had my surgery later on that day. Everything was prefect. Discharged myself 6 hrs later. Went straight home and blazed up. I don't take any pills of any kind. Just don't like them. Helped with the pain.
Thanks for your video and your non judging tone. I really appreciate it! My surgery is 4 weeks away and I wasn't sure if I could finish what I had before. I feel better after seeing your video. Thanks!
Girl I’m on the same boat. She told me to stop smoking three months before and I’m trying to figure out why if it’s only Weed now he’s stating something different so now I’m a little scared. I don’t know whether to continue smoking or quit. I quit three days ago. It’s so hard L O L.
i smoked 10 min before leaving for my surgery today and i was high asf when they put me under lmaoooo idk why im watching this now tho my procedures over lmaooo
He didn’t mention it but if you’re having surgery I would recommend that you stick with JOINTS because let’s not forget that there’s still nicotine on a BLUNT lol
I smoked like 6 backwoods the day before surgery and smoked one at midnight to sleep. And woke up fine and surgery was smooth, everything went good and I smoked 24 after surgery and been smoking since then everyday. It’s been 10 days and I smoked like 3-4 backwoods I think today and m about to roll one in a bit. Don’t worry about long as you don’t pull hard ur fine. Doc just say that to not make you smoke. I smoked a lot and m fine
Seriously, thank you I've been doing research on BBL's for quite a few years and it's something that I'm dead set on getting. But I do smoke a lot, so I was worried about how that would affect my surgery because I'm not interested in taking a bunch of pain medications.
A BBL is one of the most dangerous surgeries out there! It has the highest DEATH RATE. Once you got it you need to keep getting it cause your body doesn't store fat naturally there and it will eventually go away. Also they puncture your connective tissue with the needles which will lead to irreversible cellulite. Just look at unphotoshopped pictures of Kim K's monster butt. She looks like she got Lipdemia but only on her butt. The healthiest and cheapes thing you can do is hit the gym. The only "good" surgical option is sculptra body filler but then again you need to keep getting and paying for that just like lipfiller. Working out is not that difficult really. Also accept that the whole big butt thing is just a trend I remember when I was growing up during the Paris Hilton and Britney Spears era I tried so hard to get a flatter and smaller butt 😂 Trends come and go..
I worked out for whole year and because of my body type i will never get the curves achieved through a bbl. I still workout 6 days a week squats, weights, cross fit, zumba, etc. soms people is not lazy for the small minded people. People just want curves that everyone is not able to achieve by going to the damn gym.
I just had my appendix removed because I had acute appendicitis I smoked about 2 days before the surgery and all went fine. I woke up with about a 3/10 on the pain scale and hasn’t hurt much since. I smoked about 6 hours after the operation and so far it has helped reduce some of the pain and mellowed out my body. I think smoking is fine after surgeries just be careful and if your body tells you to stop, stop and wait about a week or so and see where it takes you
I’m on day 4 since my laparoscopic appendectomy. Would it be okay for me to start smoking again? I can see it being highly beneficial for my certain situation.
Dr. Thank you for this , I’m on day 2 of extraction, 21 hours in. My doctor said after 12 hours I can smoke cannabis but was too scared to smoke and end up with dry socket. had to look at your video for a second reassuring. I vape concentrates medically
Hey hopefully you see my comment I’m getting mine pulled this week how long did u wait after you got you’re teeth pulled to start smoking again ( im talking abt weed)
@@lilfinesse4524 I waited till the 3rd day after extraction. I smoked and made sure I brushed softly and rinse with warm salt water every time I finished smoking and I was fine. No dry socket and it’s been healing nice over all.
I smoked the same day, about 4/5 hours post op. I didn't pull to much when smoking because I didn't want to dislodge the clot that had formed and brushed my teeth after every time I smoked. I had no problem at all. Just be carefull and look after it. My dentist said my bone grew back perfectly and that I can now have my implant to replace the missing tooth.
My doctor told me to not smoke 72hrs prior to my tubal surgery tmrw morning. But now I'm nervous af and my arthritis and nerve pain is on fire and I have to work tonight too.

Hey guys! I had my open rhinoplasty yesterday. My surgery was an hour long, I had my bulbious tip shrunk, my nose lifted and a lot of bones (hook/bump) taken out to have the smallest nose ever. When I woke up, I was in 7/10 pain and couldn’t open my eyes even though I was waking up, so the nurse gave me liquid pain killers through my hand needle and it went away. It was hard to eat because I have a strong phobia of puking after medical procedures, so I ate a few fries, a few veggies and lots of water through a straw. I’ll est ice cream and yogourt when I get home. Tampons are removed after 4 days, and the mask after 7 days. Whenever I feel any pain higher than 6/10, I take my pain killers. My throat is dry due to using the AC, but I got throat lozenges and syrup for the throat. I highly recommend avoiding AC and just staying cool with fans or staying inside if it’s too hot out. Day 2-3 are the worst according to docs and other rhinoplasty patients and after 72 hours, it’s smooth-sailing from there. I’m not looking forward to today or tomorrow, but I’m strong, got my family around me and lots of meds. So far so good! Best of luck to you and your surgery, don’t be scared it’s not as scary and dramatic as our brains make it out to be! 😊
Hey Dr.Shulman, I am getting VSG Bariatric surgery. I have about 2 joints at night and vape marijuana cartridges throughout the day but not much. I quit vaping nicotine a while ago and don’t plan on going back. So my question is how long should I wait to smoke after surgery and would it have any affect to my new tummy?
I just had my Appendix taken out yesterday at 6 in morning and I came home haven’t smoke or anything but dose anyone have any suggestions should I just take some edibles for a while.??
I went for a consultation for a BBL and they told me if I failed a UA for Marijuana that they would cancel my surgery! I ended up going with a different surgeon! My surgeon said to stop smoking weed 6 weeks before and after but they never said they test.
I got told today after I use weed for an anti depressant and I’ve lost 80kg, I saw the surgeon and just crushed me when he told me that I had to give up smoking. I understand all the whys but I feel like asking if they drink coffee and then me telling them to just stop cold turkey. I’m really struggling with this one.
Fuck what surgeon says. Do you man. Smoke and feel good. Exactly like they can’t just give up coffee or even Certain drink or food. Like don’t let nobody tell you what to do. Smoke if you feel good.
I'm getting a Bilateral tubal ligation and they told me not to smoke 36 hours before surgery, check in is at 10am surgery is around 12 noon, so for two hours I have to sit with anxiety. 😞
love this, suggestion tho: the background music is the faintest bit louder than the narration, and it makes it kinda hard for folks like me to understand what you’re saying in certain parts. thanks (:
My doctor talked to me before surgery, told him I smoked, he said switch to edible because smoking hurts capillaries, and those are the initial blood supply for healing.
Hmm, yeah I have endoscopy/colonoscopy and they told me I have to quit 5 days before. They apparently don't understand that cannabis is medication for a lot of people. I can't just quit without facing implications. The way doctors still treat it like some illegal, unregulated drug is concerning. I had a medical card with a dosage prescribed so for doctors to just say, "don't take it for days" without having a conversation or providing alternatives is reckless in my opinion. Am I going to throw up every where and burn down city hall withdrawing from my green medicine? No, but I won't sleep, will feel very depressed and anxious and my ADHD is going to freak out. I don't use/smoke (generally bong or vape) a lot but I am a chronic user to help my actual diagnosed conditions. While this wasn't scientifically meaningful for making a good decision on when I really do need to stop, I appreciate the openness and willingness to discuss so candidly.
how’d it go? apparently 2 weeks before and after is standard. I’m also having the same surgery so i’m curious if you smoked before/after and if it had any affect?
Im having a minimal invasive surgery because of a herniated disc on l5 s1 , I've been smoking and the surgery it's in 20 days do I better stop smoking or at least how many days should I stop smoking , thank u
I just got a breast augmentation.... I’m a stoner I smoke everyday for anxiety and eating habits. I use my medical marijuana pen. Is that okay? I’m worried that it might affect my healing
you can but i would just be carful because of the pain. the only oral surgery you shouldn't smoke after is wisdom teeth because it can lead to dry sockets. hope this helped
Oh god I’m on day 5 of left side wisdom teeth extraction and I really want to get stoned doc..... I didn’t want dry socket and I seem to be healing fine but I’m so bored during the holidays. Is 5 days long enough to smoke a bowl gently?
Thank God for this video. I'm getting a tummy tuck and 2 weeks my doctor just told me I had to stop smoking 😒 😔. I wanted to ask her for my money back.
What about gastric bypass surgery? I am having gastric bypass on January 20th. They say to stop smoking (nicotine) 2 months before . Today is November 22 so I stopped smoking 2 days ago. Will they drug test me for THC?
Can’t sleep very well after hair transplant surgery, took co-codamol and promethazine-didn’t help much as I kept waking up in mild pain and severe itching on the scalp. Then had edibles the next few days, worked brilliantly. 👍🏾
Y’all over exaggerating I smoked and drank the night before surgery but before 12pm ofc and I still got through just fine but smoking after idk has anyone tried?
Can anyone tell me their experience or advice about smoking weed before getting a rhinoplasty (nose job)? I heard you can’t smoke for a while before surgery but I don’t know if this is true.
Hey I’m getting root canal today!! Can i smoke after my procedure??? Please help. I know some people smoke after to help with pain but idk if that’s safe while taking antibiotics

I just got my teeth pulled and I just need to smoke but idk if it ok or not like they are talking about dry socket but even with a joint...I'm frustrated
Idk if you know the answer about this but an wondering if you know how long I can smoke with pens after getting two wisdom teeth removed I got them removed 4 days ago
definitely not yet cause the sucking could mess with your stitches or cause infection. try to wait till the holes/stitches are healed. i won’t lie.. i took nose dabs after i got mine out. it was brutal but better than nothing. you could also try edibles
I have mouth surgery tomorrow I’m 17 and smoke weed every day I just smoked weed multiple times today before finding out you shouldn’t smoke 2 weeks before going under Anesthesia
@@ilikethisone6750 I’ll tell you this getting them pulled out didn’t feel anything after for 8 hours now for the past day and so every time I swallow the holes were my teeth were hurt when I swallow other than that some minor swelling so far
@@ilikethisone6750 forgot to even answer your question directly but no everything worked fine even though I smoked just make sure you tell them you smoke because it took a while for me to pass out
@@bernieburnstein5590 wait did u tell them before because I'd so I need to because I don't smoke every day more like every 4 or 5 days by I didn't tell the doctor I smoked
weed isnt bad no one has ever died from it. People have killed themselves while doing something stupid after smoking but smoking in itself in over 2,000 years not even one reported death from the substance.
Ok so its safe to say that there not going to test you right before you go in for surgery? My plastic surgeon said no pot or cigarettes and I’m so freaked out that there gunna make me pee before or something stupid and say I’ve gotta rebook
I genuinely appreciate the non judge mental tone of this video. Thank you.

This was a very informative and comforting video thank you for your efforts dr they are very appreciated 😊
I went for a consultation for a BBL and they told me if I failed a UA for Marijuana that they would cancel my surgery! I ended up going with a different surgeon! My surgeon said to stop smoking weed 6 weeks before and after but they never said they test.
I just got my left eye removed on Wednesday I’m currently recovering n I really wanna smoke a joint but idk if that’s okay someone help !
Praying for your recovery sis ❤️ i have a bbl in 20 days sitting here smoking lol
If anything, change your method of ingestion
Smoke shid I’ll smoke for u for real it suck that u went threw this 💓🙏🏾😘
@@auttybby hey how was you bbl and did you end up quitting smoking ?
I'm still going to stop today which is only 8 days before my surgery. Yikes.
I got told today after I use weed for an anti depressant and I’ve lost 80kg, I saw the surgeon and just crushed me when he told me that I had to give up smoking. I understand all the whys but I feel like asking if they drink coffee and then me telling them to just stop cold turkey. I’m really struggling with this one.
Fuck what surgeon says. Do you man. Smoke and feel good. Exactly like they can’t just give up coffee or even Certain drink or food. Like don’t let nobody tell you what to do. Smoke if you feel good.
Omg me too. My surgeon told me I have to quit smoking today. I wanted to cry. I wanted to ask for my money back
@@SpiritualFoundations it can cause necrosis though :,(
Hi! I am wondering if this applies to wisdom teeth surgery extraction ? Along with dabs /wax is that ok??
Wondering the same thing what did you do
Yeah just pulled wisdom teeth can i smoke now
I’m getting a septorhinoplasty in 10 days and have been dreading quitting due to anxiety.
I'm getting this done in 2 weeks did you stop smoking?? If yes how long before your surgery did you stop smoking?
I'm getting a Bilateral tubal ligation and they told me not to smoke 36 hours before surgery, check in is at 10am surgery is around 12 noon, so for two hours I have to sit with anxiety. 😞
Thank you so much Dr. Schuman I am having orbital eye fracture surgery on Friday & I was losing my shit thinking I couldn’t have edibles at the least.
I hope everything worked out. I have the same surgery tomorrow. I was nervous af today but now I know I can get some edibles.
love this, suggestion tho: the background music is the faintest bit louder than the narration, and it makes it kinda hard for folks like me to understand what you’re saying in certain parts. thanks (:
its only because you are high....lol.... just kidding. I will have them make the music a little lower on the new ones.
@@DrSchulmanplasticsurgery your a funny dude.... I subscribe doctor man
Can i smoke weed or a thc cartridge. I had my appendix removed on August 2nd 2021 i have three wounds all 3 are Glued thank you??
My doctor talked to me before surgery, told him I smoked, he said switch to edible because smoking hurts capillaries, and those are the initial blood supply for healing.
It’s HOW you smoke. The THC itself isn’t an issue.
@@DrSchulmanplasticsurgery No, smoking was the issue. It hurts capillaries, and those are the initial blood supply.
13hrs prior and I’m okay in recovery rn. Everything went smooth
Hope you're feeling better :)
Hmm, yeah I have endoscopy/colonoscopy and they told me I have to quit 5 days before. They apparently don't understand that cannabis is medication for a lot of people. I can't just quit without facing implications. The way doctors still treat it like some illegal, unregulated drug is concerning. I had a medical card with a dosage prescribed so for doctors to just say, "don't take it for days" without having a conversation or providing alternatives is reckless in my opinion. Am I going to throw up every where and burn down city hall withdrawing from my green medicine? No, but I won't sleep, will feel very depressed and anxious and my ADHD is going to freak out. I don't use/smoke (generally bong or vape) a lot but I am a chronic user to help my actual diagnosed conditions. While this wasn't scientifically meaningful for making a good decision on when I really do need to stop, I appreciate the openness and willingness to discuss so candidly.

What about gastric bypass surgery? I am having gastric bypass on January 20th. They say to stop smoking (nicotine) 2 months before . Today is November 22 so I stopped smoking 2 days ago. Will they drug test me for THC?
THC can effect how much anesthesia you need so tell your doctor you smoke
Really. I lied and I’m a heavy smoker, non stop for 3+ years and I smoked 5 backwoods today
I was perfectly fine I was knocked tf out and woke up when everything was done
Question

Should I stop smoking that week
I got my tonsils out like 5 days ago and the lack of smoking is miserable
Did you smoke before?
Can’t sleep very well after hair transplant surgery, took co-codamol and promethazine-didn’t help much as I kept waking up in mild pain and severe itching on the scalp. Then had edibles the next few days, worked brilliantly. 👍🏾
That's what I'm doing ..the edibles but it's not same so after watching this I think I'll roll a joint lol ..hope you got good results
@@pappa7t3 edibles are strong by themselves & especially mixed with narcotic pain killers. It'll leave you very lethargic & inebriated.
so you’re telling me I could take a fat rip of this dab pen after my rhinoplasty!?

Can anyone tell me their experience or advice about smoking weed before getting a rhinoplasty (nose job)? I heard you can’t smoke for a while before surgery but I don’t know if this is true.

I’m having a plate installed into my ankle for a broken fibula ( they never gave me a date) but said I should not smoke. I’m experiencing a lot of pain and want to smoke. Am I chillin ?
I can't speak of major surgery because I had minor surgery. Gallbladder removed. Got taken to my knees one day from sudden pain. Went to the ER and needed to stay the night because I needed it removed asap in the morning. I went home smoked 2 huge joints went back And had my surgery later on that day. Everything was prefect. Discharged myself 6 hrs later. Went straight home and blazed up. I don't take any pills of any kind. Just don't like them. Helped with the pain.
So is my 1 year after spinal chord surgery u can vape e cigarettes everyday again?

Can you smoke herbal hookah flavor it’s has 0 nicotine and 0 tobacco I’m getting breast augmentation?
I got rhino 2 weeks ago. I’m going thru the healing process. (1 week in). I stopped smoking for 3 days.and after I been smoking out the cartridges. My cast is coming off tmrw. So if anything happened ima let ya know
Are you okay
yes im okay. It just makes your nose feel crazy but still heals normal. im in my 3 week and no more bruising just a lil swollen from the nose
@@lilbigkid329 oh okay glad to know you're feeling better
I didnt bruise at all, the doctor was surprised, he couldnt figure out why....im attributing it to the weed o.o
How often were u doing it before
I don’t smoke weed or nicotine anymore, I’ve been clean for 3 months now, but I have a concert I’m going to 4 days before my wisdom tooth extraction, I wanna smoke a blunt on the day of the concert but I will be under anesthesia 4 days later, I’m not a regular smoker btw, is it safe?
That depends on several factors and this is something you should ask your surgeon.
I just got my teeth pulled and I just need to smoke but idk if it ok or not like they are talking about dry socket but even with a joint...I'm frustrated
dude i smoked thru my nose after my wisdom tooth removal
@@AR-tv3ed Its my 6 day now and I'm high asf the 2nd day I just stuffed my mouth with gauze and said fuck it but I'm fine...right now
Did he actually answer the question about "how long before..." or did I missed it??
Idk if you know the answer about this but an wondering if you know how long I can smoke with pens after getting two wisdom teeth removed I got them removed 4 days ago
definitely not yet cause the sucking could mess with your stitches or cause infection. try to wait till the holes/stitches are healed. i won’t lie.. i took nose dabs after i got mine out. it was brutal but better than nothing. you could also try edibles
@@jadencook2216 omg thank u sm for the advice 🥰 do uk how long do I have to wait is it like a few more days or weeks
I have mouth surgery tomorrow I’m 17 and smoke weed every day I just smoked weed multiple times today before finding out you shouldn’t smoke 2 weeks before going under
Anesthesia
Any complications I'm in the same boat and low-key nervous
@@ilikethisone6750 I’ll tell you this getting them pulled out didn’t feel anything after for 8 hours now for the past day and so every time I swallow the holes were my teeth were hurt when I swallow other than that some minor swelling so far
@@ilikethisone6750 forgot to even answer your question directly but no everything worked fine even though I smoked just make sure you tell them you smoke because it took a while for me to pass out
@@bernieburnstein5590 wait did u tell them before because I'd so I need to because I don't smoke every day more like every 4 or 5 days by I didn't tell the doctor I smoked
@@ilikethisone6750 no I told them the day of and just don’t smoke before the extraction it won’t allow the anesthesia to work
SWEAR I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW IT WAS YOU DONT HAVE TO STOP HAHAHHAAH
weed isnt bad no one has ever died from it. People have killed themselves while doing something stupid after smoking but smoking in itself in over 2,000 years not even one reported death from the substance.
Ok so its safe to say that there not going to test you right before you go in for surgery? My plastic surgeon said no pot or cigarettes and I’m so freaked out that there gunna make me pee before or something stupid and say I’ve gotta rebook
What about surgery on the lungs??
