I went to two consults so far, one said that it would not effect me to continue to take the phentermine and the other says to just stop taking everything even the multi vitamin. I'm trying to find out cause I want to get a tummy tuck asap and I don't want to put myself in any danger. Blood work was done and they said that everything is normal. Is it possible that the phentermine might effect my blood or put me in danger?

Answer: Stop phentermine at least two weeks prior to surgery Most anesthesiologists and physicians advise the cessation of phentermine type products for a minimum of two weeks prior to surgery. There are concerns that this may predispose individuals to heart rhythm disturbances.

Answer: Tummy tuck and diet pills It is definitely not safe taking any diet pill and having surgery. There are two reasons for this. One dieting before any surgery has been shown to slow your healing and even increase your rate of complications. In my practice, all my tummy tuck patients are given additional nutritional supplement before, during and after surgery to optimize their healing.

Answer: It is absolutely not safe! Mixing Phentermine and anesthesia can lead to heart arrhythmias and death. You need to be off Phentermine for at least 2 weeks to make it safe to undergo anesthesia. I usually recommend a minimum of 4 weeks, as I want you to be nutritionally sound when you have your surgery to promote better healing.
