Never really heard of them.  Many people can drop the necessary weight by going on the liquid diet that most surgeons do to shrink our liver before surgery.

Hi Ericia~

I did a little googling on the Green Tea Pills, I would be safe and ask the doctor, I think the one thing that gave me reason to think that was the warning about the blood thinner.  If you are taking a blood thinner you shouldn't consume anything with green tea in it.  And you do have to take a blood thinner for surgery to help prevent clots. 
How about just trying the pre-op diet like Kathy suggested?  You should loose the weight on that.  Or maybe Protein drinks for two meals and one low carb/low fat meal?

Let us know what you decide and if it works for you!
