Smoking marijuana and the surgery itself?

[en10se]

Quick question wanted to get it out, I told the surgeon that I did not smoke marijuana, because I had a relative in the same room and I didn't want them to know. Now I am going to tell the anesthesiologist before surgery, but just wanted an opinion because I was getting mixed signals on the internet. How much does marijuana itself interact with the general anesthetics. I smoke moderate amounts about everyday. My surgery is in 8 days what should I do? Can I continue to smoke weed ?

I was told not to smoke 6 weeks prior and 6 week post surgery by my surgeon. (i dont smoke marijuana though) I advice to stop smoking today till surgery, and as long as you can post surgery for minimum chance of complications
Wish u all the best

You shouldn't be smoking at all considering how close to your surgery date you are.

what LA said.  seriously. 

here's why.  i can't count on both hands plus my best friend's the number of times people have posted here suspecting they had a recurrence following going back to heavy weed smoking.  the fact is it really does d__k around with your hormones.  and then they said damn i wish i hadn't done that. 

it's been a controversial subject, but risk is not worth it.  that's my $.02.
