I'm 4 weeks out of having a tummy tuck done. Is it safe to take phentermine 37.5 mg afterwards?

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery.  Typically I recommend my patients to wait 4-6 weeks after surgery before starting any elective vitamins, medications etc.  I would recommend you speak with your surgeon and follow their protocol in regards to restarting your medication. Best of luck to you. 

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your tummy tuck procedure.  I would discuss any chance in your medications with your surgeon ton ensure your safety but because your incisions are not yet fully healed I would recommend waiting at least another 2 weeks prior to resuming your weight loss medication.  Hope this helps.

This question is best answered by your surgeon. She/He is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. Typically at this time it is safe to resume your pre operative medications, but it is always best to first consult with your surgeon.

Your best resource of information would be your surgeon as he/she knows your condition best.  Each surgeon has his/her own post operative protocols.  

Thank you for the question and congratulations on your recent procedure.  Phentermine 3-4 weeks after a tummy tuck should be fine.  Would ask your plastic surgeon to be certain.   But, I would have no problems with one of my patients resuming Phentermine after a month of recovery.  

Hi. I recommend you to ask your PS, since each of us have our own protocol and rules.International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

I would wait until six weeks. I would also touch base with whoever prescribed it for further medical advice.   You’re still very much in the early healing phase and stimulant based weight loss is not optimal for your nutritional needs at this time.
