Anesthesia

So I've had an issue with my stomach for a quite few months now and am finally getting a minor surgery next Friday to correct the problem. I smoke pot regularly, maybe not every day but most out of a week.
My mother is aware of my drug usage. She insists that I should stop smoking for a few weeks before the surgery, because she believes it has the possibility of affecting the anesthesia.
The last time I smoked was on Sunday (I've been waiting to find out if it would cause problems or not ) I reaaaallllly want to smoke this weekend for a couple parties, and the rest of the week if its alright ahha.
Basically my question is, is it safe to smoke a week before surgery? I don't want to be feeling that opening incision and an old guy elbow deep in my belly. I've googled it to find nothing very helpful besides some Yahoo! answers, but who knows how reliable those can be.

Yeah, it shouldn't complicate the Anesthesia one bit. Even if you were high when you went in for surgery it would be okay. But like awesomebastard said I would go ahead and quit for a couple of days before you go in. It won't kill ya to go without

I had my teeth out like 6 months ago and smoked a joint at like 6 am. At 10 am I had to go in and I told the nurse hey I smoke allot of weed most of the time and I had smoked at like 6 am and she was like "Was it a fattie" and I was like ooh ya lol. So she was like "ill go talk to the anesthesiologists". She came back asked if I did coke I said no. She left came back again and asked if I did coke at all in the last 24 hours cuz it could kill me I said no she said OK. Dr came in and asked if I had anything to drink or eat cuz I had gotten the munchies (his words) I was like no. Then he asked if I had done coke lol I said no and he said all is good and had made a few calls to colligues and there would be no complications but coke would kill me lol. He said that at the most something about it effecting my metabolism and taken a bit longer for me to wake up totally after.
So I'm pretty sure that coke will kill you and weed is cool lol.
