Is it ok to start taking phentermine after smartlipo?

December 19, 2013
Asked By:Bonjour99 in Houston, Texas

I had smartlipo with local anesthesia about a week ago. I was taking phentermine but stopped a week or so before surgery. I would like to refill my prescription because I do not want to gain weight during the recovery period. I only had my upper abs done but cannot workout due to soreness. Is it safe to start taking phentermine again if I was not under anesthia?
