    It will definitely affect the surgery. She should tell her doctor before the surgery or there could be serious complications. My Aunt is a doctor and she she didn't know her patient was a smoker (of cigarettes) and there was a problem with her capillarities.

    Sorry......I just don't agree. Cigarettes and pot are not the same and do not have the same affects on the body. Pot is known for it's anti-inflammatory properties and is used for several medical conditions. I would love to see some more answers on this. Anyone?

      I just had my gall bladder removal cancelled because i told the doctor i smoked pot.  He was going to put me under with a general and said i should quit smoking for a week before surgery.  The doc. Said i could die with complications due to my smoking habit.
