I have recently consumed a not large amount of crystal meth , and i have surgery with 24 hours.Would it still be safe to continue the surgery?Im havig surgury on my left eye cause i get a lazy eye sometimes so they are going to perform surgery in order to fix my eyes muscles.
In my opinion, you should inform your surgeon about the meth intake. I expect he will decide to postpone the surgery. Meth gets excreted through skin as well and I expect it to interfere with post-operative recovery and healing.
Best wishes.
