Long Time, no visits.....
[this place seems a ghost-town. It used to have 40 or so new threads a day with massive replies.]

But, just throwing this out for those wondering about long-term results.
So, from one who had this surgery 20 years ago?

Had RNY 2003
Was 390lbs. /5'11.5" - [BMI of 53.6]

I Lost down to 170 to 180 in the first 8 months.
Then slowly dropped on down to the mid- 160's about 10 years ago
and have been at that weight since.
To quote my Dr., my "health is Awesome."
64 years old this summer, and still in better health than I was any time prior to 2003.

I don't really do any "Diets" or re-set business.
Over the years I've just made sure to get in a lot of lean meats and vegetables.
Early eating routines quickly became Habits. And Habits are so hard to break.
If you are "looking into" WLS, learn all you can.
If you've had WLS, keep using it.


Life is meant to be Lived, Not Endured.

Best Wishes- Dx

I realize my answer is rather late, but I'd like to share my thoughts. I'm glad marijuana has helped you with your insomnia and depression. As for your question, it's best to consult with your surgeon or healthcare provider to get a definitive answer. However, you may need to stop vaping temporarily before the surgery to minimize any potential risks or complications. Also, I'd like to share that recently, I stumbled upon the highest quality CBD I've ever come across - Spruce's 750 mg Lab Grade CBD. It's derived from a 210-year-old hemp variety, and let me tell you, it packs a seriou*****h when it comes to performance and benefits. I've noticed a significant improvement in my overall well-being since incorporating this CBD into my daily routine.

I probably wouldn't have the nerve, but I would want to say," I don't discuss my weight, but we can discuss yours if you like" Then everyone is now looking at her.
