Thank you for sharing your question. As only your surgeon knows how your recovery has gone it would be best to ask them their advice for resuming phentermine.  Hope this helps.

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

In my practice I would cancel your surgery if you are taking this diet pill. to many complications associated with it.

Ven Erella, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Congratulations on your procedure. Please ask your surgeon about any medication as he/she will know your healing. It is generally OK after two weeks.

Robert V. Mandraccia, MD · Answer

I agree with Dr Commons. This drug should only be used in the short term, MUST be stopped at least two weeks before ANY surgery and the key to weight reduction is watching your calories. You have made an investment in yourself, now take full control!!

George Commons, MD (retired) · Answer

You can start it again but I would encourage you to give up on phentermine.   It has undesirable side effects and does little to help with weight loss.
