Drug test at consult?

We do complete bloodwork in the morning of the surgery. However, it is crucial for you to inform your surgeon and the anesthesiologist if you are using marijuana even if it is for medical purposes.

You won't receive drug testing during the consultation, but do need to admit how much and how often you use marijuana. Also, you will need to stop using it prior to surgery so that it does not interfere with the medications you will receive.

Typically lab testing is not performed at a consultation. Once a procedure is scheduled the surgeon will give orders for any lab work that is needed prior to surgery. Your surgeon will inform you of what needs to be stopped prior to surgery. This will include certain medications, nicotine, marijuana, and others. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
