Is It Safe To Have Phentermine To Keep Weight Under Control Post Gall Bladder Surgery?
hi I've had my gallbladder removed and i have gained weight consistently since having it out. I also have hypothyroidism, i was prescribed phentermine before my gallbladder surgery to keep my weight under control, but since the surgery i have been off it. Would it be safe to take it again?
