Each surgeon may have different requirements so it's best you call their office and ask them since you forgot. It would be such a waste of time if you show up on Friday and cannot have the procedure performed.

Stop now and do not restart ever. Marijuana is a psychoactive drug and will mess with your brain and damage your lungs among other injury. MJ users are called stoners for good reason. Quit using it while you are ahead. Wish you good health!

Call your Surgeon and ask. Instructions are based on your general health, your oral health, the type of anesthesia, and the results of your examination and imaging. Your Surgeon has all of that information. We don't .
