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.
