It is always good to tell your Dr everything. Especially if they are putting you to sleep. Should be no medical hangoverat 15 days but still mention it. Here we always ask.

Absolutely tell your physicians about the marijuana, so, they have full information to avoid any potential surprises. Would anticipate a smooth anesthesia and surgery, in your case, but it is always best to be transparent to assure lack of complications.
