Hi friends, I was in this group, then I left it. I had my initial appointments scheduled with my surgeon, the dietician and my psych eval, had cleared things with insurance, then got really cold feet and decided I wasn't going through with it. Well this past week I had another new weight related health diagnosis that shouldn't be something a 31 year old should be diagnosed with, my weight is still climbing, got told by two different doctors they won't treat my pain because it's my weight causing the pain, so I've emailed my coordinator at Dr. Houston's office and plan on calling Monday to get appointments back on the schedule.

I guess I just need some reassurance that it's ok to go back and forth with commitment in the beginning?

Like others said call your surgeon.

I would venture to guess you will have to stop at least 30 days prior or more so the THC is out of your system. Some surgeons are picky and if you are a known Marijuana user they will not perform surgery. Plus vaping or smoking anything slows the healing process down and it can cause ulcers after the surgery. If I were you I would look at edibles instead of the vaping.

I use Chrome. Online I found a fix for this error but when I tried to go to any sites that listed the fix, I got the same error code. Frustrating, but it seems it is something with my computer. Thanks for replying. I might try another browser, JIC.

I am not getting an error message when I search. Could it be the browser you are using? I use Safari and Chrome both.

Marijuana is legal in my state. It has thank God helped cured my insomnia and depression.

Now I'm considering bariatric surgery. Will I have to permanently stop vaping before the surgery? Or will it totally disqualify me? I read that it can cause the need for more sedation during surgery.
