I was always told to not take my meds before surgery, and for my injection I had in June. I couldn't even take tylenol for 2 weeks prior. Good luck with your operation.

Should your doctors be able to advise on the correct drugs for this. Good luck with your operation.

Double lung? WOW!
I use THC now. Probably just as bad as it uses the same receptors in the body.
All the Best to you with your adventure.
