Recommended Posts

Has anyone taking hydroxycut or phentermine a couple of months before surgery to help with weight loss? Were you ok for surgery and when did you stop?

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).

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).
