What Are The Repercussions Of Smoking Crystal Methamphetamine After A Duodenal Switch Procedure?

Besides checking myself into a facility.. Can you please tell me the risks and possible damage someone could cause if they started using Meth (snorting and smoking) 17 months post op for Duodenal Switch? Currently they are not taking any vitamins and based on their lab work from March their vitamin levels are on the low side of normal. Please give me examples of things that could happen so that I can help this person.

Hello,

Regarding your concern smoking methamphetamine is not recommended especially for the lungs and it is not directly related to this condition you explain, however, it doesn't help with the process of healing itself.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
