Sublingual cannabis for anxiety and fibromyalgia: do I need to stop before my tummy tuck procedure?

June 3, 2020
Asked By:MummyTummyNoMore in Austin, TX

I take low dose cannabis oil sublingually for anxiety and fibromyalgia. Do I need to stop before my tummy tuck surgery? If so, how far in advance and how long postoperatively should I not take it? What are the risks of consuming cannabis too close to surgery or too soon after surgery? Please note, I never smoke or vape any substances, my consumption is exclusively swallowed in oil form.
