Can you have Vaser lipo if you have recently been put on amitriptyline?

GJo79
Having gained weight after being subscribed mirtazapine 3 weeks (a total of 17lbs) I've tried hard to lose the weight which on thighs and lower abdomen. I've since changed meds and put on amitriptyline and have been taking this for 7 weeks and had a dose increase 3 weeks ago. I'm desperate to lose this excess &contacted a few places to query potential treatement. I have been told that i would need to be on the meds for 6months consistently before an anaesthetis would consider it. Is this true?
