I'm having a Tummy Tuck in February. I'm trying to lose couple of more lbs .I have Phentermine, is this OK to take?
Answer: Is it ok to take Phentermine before a Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. Phenteremine will interfere with your anesthesia and may cause complications. You must discontinue weight loss supplements such as phentermine 2-6 weeks before surgery. Ask your surgeon for his recommendations when to stop.

Answer: Stop all diet pills before surgery You should stop Phentermine and any diet pills for at least 10 days before surgery as they can interfere with some forms of anesthesia. Discuss this in detail with your surgeon and/or anesthesiologist prior to having your procedure.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Stop Meds The best practice is to stop all weight loss and diet pills (including medications like phenteramine) before surgery. They can have interactions with anesthesia. I typically recommend to stop these meds 2 weeks before surgery. Although some physicians may recommend stopping them a few days before surgery.

Answer: Safe Thank you for the question.I believe you have to consider having this talk with your PS and Anesthesiologist due to the fact that this or any other drug might have a side effect if combined with other medication applied during your surgical procedure.Dr. Campos
