Sometimes, but it's up to you and your doctor to talk about that. Remember that there are multiple kinds of prescription diet pills and there are many types of weight loss strategy. If the first combination doesn't work, you may need a different combination. Remember that even if you have surgery, you will need to follow very strict rules afterward. For a long time, you'll need a liquid diet, then liquids and soft foods, and so on. Surgery isn't an easy option or a fall-back option. It needs to be the right thing for you.

It could be. Or it could be other weight loss strategies. Give the pills an honest try first, before considering what will happen if it fails. That way, you'll know for sure that you're not aiming for the safety net.
