When is it okay to resume adipex after BA?

Question

I was previously on adipex before BA for weight loss. I am now 11 days post op. When is it safe to start taking it again?

Leo Lapuerta, MD · Answer

Please keep in mind that all surgeons have their own protocols on medication and post-operative instructions.  Most surgeons will advise to avoid certain medication for two weeks post surgery.  It is best if you check with your surgeon.

Hi there, Thank you for your question. It is best if you speak with your surgeon regarding the medications you are taking. Typically we have our patients stop medications for a week to 2 weeks post BA. Best, realdrsix

As noted below all surgeons have their own protocols with regards to resuming medications. The safe answer is to contact your plastic surgeon for their recommendation. Good luck!

You really need to ask your surgeon as he or she has seen you in person and knows your case intimately. I typically have my patients wait 1-2 weeks after surgery before resuming any medications.
