Is There A Required Drug Test For Lap Band Surgery?
December 22nd, 2009
I’m very interested in having the LAP Band surgery. I have a few concerns. I am curious to know if anyone out there can tell me if there is a drug test to take before hand, and if so, will marijuana in my system be a factor in possible denial for the surgery? I just need to know if I should quit before I go for my blood work.

They do blood work but I don’t think they test for drugs. You don’t want to smoke a bunch of pot after the surgery and get the munchies. You won’t be albe to pig out like you do now. However, drinking alcohol is much more interesting experience. I get drunk off about 3 glasses of wine.
they will get some routine bloodwork, but a drug screen is not part of the routine tests. even if they decided to test for it, having a positive test for marijuana would not cause them to deny you the surgery if you were to otherwise qualify.
You should quit before you go for your blood work. I have no idea if it will change if they do the operation or not, you should just quit.
they do like a pregnancy test and lab work to make sure your not anemic and your liver works good and that kinda stuff but no drug test that i know of i work quit anyway to make the surgery easier
