Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Gall bladder surgery requires giving anesthesia and some of the midicines might be in your system.

2. It is recommended to smoke weed after one to two weeks from the surgery and then it will not cause any problems.

3. Weed smoking is an addictive behaviour and can be harmful to your general health. Please do it cautiously.

Hope your query is answered.
