DON'T do these 3 things before SURGERY!

Surgery preparation can be important to maximize your chance of safe and comfortable recovery! Here are 3 important tips as you prepare for surgery!

1) avoid alcohol before surgery. Not only is alcohol a blood thinner, but it may slow wound healing and possibly even contribute to worse scarring if your body is slow to heal.

2) avoid marijuana and cannabis before surgery! The use of marijuana or weed before surgery increases the risk of heart complications, increases anesthesia requirements, and may increase the risk of breathing problems. Nausea and pain are also possible complications.

3) don't try to tip your anesthesiologist! 🤣 especially not for extra!

Got it. No alcohol, no weed, and no tips. Whew, I was worried he was gonna say no crack for a second there. Guess that means I'm golden. Lmao.

Good advice; I never do any of those things before performing surgery.

1. Don't eat. If you throw up you are done.

Also do not let Doctors do what they want. Because it is about money for them. I had a cyst on an ovary. They wanted to take out not just the ovary with the cyst. My Uterus, my other ovary, and skin in my perinatal area.I went through surgery and my innards were fine. The cyst was benign. None of my other organs were affected. Protest some surgical procedures. Or you will wind up with a lot of physical problems.

if a patient slipped you a 20 he's probably had rolled up something before surgery lol

Did not know about the alcohol thing; thanks. Unfortunately, all of my adult surgeries have been completely unplanned! Fortunately, I am not a heavy drinker, not do I smoke anything.

I thought the tips for the doctor =>

My mom's friend, a doctor, had to do stitches on a drunk driver. He usually would shot some local anaesthetic before stitching. But when the patient is under any alcohol or drug influence, he can't do that. It may kill them 😬
So he ordered some male nurses and the policeman to hold the patient down. It was a messy affair.

I love your videos! I have had 4 surgeries, and wish I had had this information years ago!😊

Please do a VR 360 patient perspective video from pre op to OR with realistic sounds, buzz and actual meds to help us watch it on VR headset to allay our anxiety

Why can't you smoke before? Like right before? Or

[unchained_wings]

The money wasn't for more good juice it was to make sure you would pay attention and the patient wouldn't die.

[SquooshyCatboy]

so dont pay for the surgery, got it doc!

[fadedprodigy]

Wait. Why not weed? Why didn't you answer that one?

[TheDemonicEden]

Just tell your DR about smoking cannabis before surgery so they can adjust the meds accordingly have had plenty of surgeries while on cannabis and never had any issues and it actually makes the recovery process more efficient

Before you ask about the weed: Look at the description, there's an explanation right there. He even has a short talking about why you shouldn't smoke before.

If I’ve stopped smoking 🍃 for a couple weeks now, will the anesthesia still be affected?
