It has been around 2 days since my laparoscopic appendectomy. Can I smoke marijuana without further damaging myself or slowing down the healing process?

Yo, I love the ganja!! It's nothing bad, it's just a natural plant that happened to grow out in Jesus' garden when he made what is called Earth =) I'm not no religious person, but that's the way most of us pot heads look at it, compared to other drugs, IT LITERALLY posses no harm to anyone, other then a goooooooood relaxing time :-) think about it.

I've had a cyst taken out of my (left) sinus yesterday, I'm just wondering how long do I have to wait til I can smoke again without doing any damage. The bleeding already stopped.

I had a Bi-Lateral breast tumor excision and used marijuana after. I'm totally fine and healed quickly. I am allergic to most opiates, and the marijuana helped not only with the pain of healing without causing me to have a likely lethal allergic reaction, but also to help me just relax, as I have clinical anxiety. Especially being a 19 yr old, having "titty tumors" is a very stressful thing to go through. It's a real shame the law prohibits me from using it in my state. I do it anyway. I don't give a flying sh*t what the law says can or can not help me, because I know what does, and that's marijuana.

I don't see any problem with smoking during your healing process however I would not suggest smoking and taking pain meeds at the same time. One or the other. Lastly if these are any kind of oral surgeries you guys are talking about then smoking is a no go of course people. Be smart you only get one life !

Although marijuana might not be bad for recovery, the action of smoking (whether its cigarettes, joints, ect,.) can have a negative effect on blood flow, which is really important to the healing area by constructing blood vessels. I just had surgery on my shoulder and wanna avoid smoking so I'm probably gonna make some baked goods :-P

Or you could just say that you had your appendix taken out???
I'd be most worried about the coughing involved in toking up after an abdominal surgery like this. Also, as you hold your hit in, you are tensing your abdominal muscles, this is no good for any abdominal trama.
Injuries (surgeries) within need a steady supply of oxygen-rich blood to heal quickly and properly. The mass amounts of carbon monoxide invovled with puffing is not doing you any favors there.
Here is a fact for the fact-loving guests... If you ignite anything and inhale it, you are ingesting carbon monoxide and tar. Research the facts on those things on the human body and then tell me how wonderful it is.
To use marijuana as an anti-nausea/vommiting medicine is weak unless you are a someone with a terminal disease. Nausea and vommiting are natural signal and purge mechanisms. It rids your body and or neutralizes the toxins that are causing the nausea in the first place. The nausea and vommiting involved with chemotherapy is another story.
Lastly, wtf does this question have to do with canabis addiction and recovery?

Nausea after surgery is common and caused by anesthesia, pain pills, and your body just freaking out over what's been done to it. Pot helps with this better than any opiate drug they prescribe you will. I'm a week out from having a painful c-section type surgery to get a tumor removed from my abdomen. I stopped taking percocets, which were making me nauseas and manic on day three and smoking instead. Only because of this was I able to eat amd feel a lot better. Pots not legal in my state sadly, but it's an amazing drug with miraculous health benefits. It's amazing that the doctor handed me the equivalent of super addictive legal heroine, but people make a huge deal out of a harmless leaf. Where is the common sense in the country.

I had major ear surgery yesterday at one of the most prestigous hospitals in Boston. I smoked bowls the night before. Went in to the hospital the next morning. When the nurse was checking me in, she asked if I use cocaine or marijuana and I told her, "marijuana - yes" (it's not good to lie to your doctors). She said, "hmm about how long ago was the last time?" I told her, "Probably about a week", just to be safe from having to get rescheduled. Her response was, "Oh yeah that's fine, as long as it wasn't this morning." I laughed and told her not to worry, that I wasn't high. LOL.
So to me, that means that they don't care if you smoke before the surgery, as long as you're not high DURING the surgery. Personally, it didn't have ANY negative effects towards the anestesia or anything else, for that matter. I also smoked the night I came home, and will continue to as it works much better for healing my pain than the 5mg Percocets they prescribed me.
It really is a miracle drug. Don't start thinking it's going to be any worse for you just because you're seeing a doctor that doesn't "reccomend" it. Unless you're having lung or throat surgery, of course, that would just be silly.

You cannot become "addicted" to marijuana. It is illegal because of a monopolistic turf war between a newspaper / logging tycoon (William Randolf Hearst) and the hemp industry. Try doing some research. Nobody has ever died from marijuana. The same cannot be said for so-called "safe" prescription drugs.
If marijuana helps you, there's no reason not to use it. Since the surgery you underwent involves areas around and connected to sinuses, consuming marijuana in ways other than smoking is probably a safer way to go.
I am not a doctor, and this should not be taken as medical advice.
