Hi
gastric bypass does not effect absorption of marijuna as it is inhaled and mostly absorbed through lungs . For one time user it can be deducted in blood for a day or two and in urine upto 7 days For regular users it can be deducted in blood for about 7 days and in urine uoto 100 days Passive uses has almost simila effects
