I am thinking of getting a Tummy Tuck and Liposuction. I have been taking diet pills for a couple of months does this put me at any greater risk of having problems with anesthesia?
Answer: Let your surgeon know It all depends on the the type of diet pills you’re taking. For this reason, it would be best to let your surgeon know what you’re taking (along with any other supplements and medications) so that they would be able to let you know whether it would be safe for you to proceed with surgery.

Answer: You may want to stop these diet pills prior to surgery It really depends on the mechanism of action of these diet pills but you should stop these for a minimum of two weeks prior to surgery and possibley longer. Again depending on the mechanism of action, you may want to consider blood work to evaluate possible alterations that could effect your surgery.

Answer: Manage Risk! Many diet pills work because they suppress appetite and speed up your metabolism. Their effects can be dangerous when combined with the drugs needed for anesthesia, in that they can make your heart irritable, which could potentially result in either intra-operative or post-operative arrhythmias (sensation of fast or strong heart beats).
