A member asked:
Can you use garcinia cambogia even after having had gastric bypass surgery 2 years ago?

Garcinia: Like many other things promoted on tv this one has no evidence it does anything much but participate in curry recipes. There is no reason to take this other than to donate money to its vendors.

Garcinia cambogia: Theoretically, yes you can take it and there shouldn't be any detrimental effect to your bypass anatomy. Keep in mind there are no long term clinical trials on garcinia cambogia so who knows what can happen to you in the long run.
