istytehcrawk 256 Posted March 23, 2018 I was on phentermine for quite a while pre-op and was told to stop it 1-2 weeks before surgery (I stopped 12 days before simply because that was when I refilled my daily pill containers). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walter.Sobchak 978 Posted March 23, 2018 Don’t take that crap. Your heart will explode. Like for realz explode. Not worth the risk. (I am not a doctor but used to take similar things and almost croaked). 1 Jengo825 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frust8 963 Posted March 24, 2018 Yeah there is nothing with perfect certanity. And if there is anything close to a free lunch, I ate it already. Remember I've seen me nekkid, I'm pretty sure it's in there somewhere.[emoji34]Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
