Caffine/Green Tea Hydroxycut Diet Pills before breast implant removal?

March 5, 2016
Asked By:nporter2012 in Chicago, IL

I'm having my breast implants removed in 5 days and I've been off of all medications, etc. for about 10 days. Out of habit and routine I took a dose of Hydroxycut (caffeine based) this morning and now I'm reading articles about how diet pills are a major issue before surgery that can cause complications during the procedure and prevent healing. I am seriously concerned. I'm 33 and in awesome health/shape...Am I going to be OK? Or is this something I need to reschedule my surgery over?
