Is it ok to start taking phentermine after smartlipo?

Question

I had smartlipo with local anesthesia about a week ago. I was taking phentermine but stopped a week or so before surgery. I would like to refill my prescription because I do not want to gain weight during the recovery period. I only had my upper abs done but cannot workout due to soreness. Is it safe to start taking phentermine again if I was not under anesthia?

You will have to pose this question to your surgeon, because each surgeon will have a different opinion on this.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I suggest waiting until you can see your final
results before taking any medications. Also, follow up with your surgeon that
you are healing correctly and at this time ask them about taking medications.
