Yes, and they ask that for a variety of reasons, but the most important one is that your anesthesiologist needs to know this. For instance, if you are a moderate to heavy drinker, you need more anesthesia than the average person. As it turns out, so do THC users. Here’s a nice article on the subject: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog...ut-marijuana-use-before-surgery-2020011518642I don't know specifically about WLS but every time I've had surgery I've been asked about drug and alcohol use.
As a side note, please don’t lie to your doctors, folks! Alcoholics go through anesthesia like fuckin’ water, and they always lie about how much they drink. No one is there to judge, they just want to, you know, keep you alive.
