I'm taking it for fertility issues, as I have insulin resistance and it affects your eggs. I do nit have pcos or diabetes. I've found a pharmacy that can get the liquid form, which is Riomet, and ill start it on Monday. My first pharmacy said it was unavailable do I thought it was off the market but I guess that's not the case. Thanks all for your input!

Maggie- what liquid form?

That's what mine are! Do you know howuch fluid they put in your band at surgery?

I have just been prescribed metformin er for insulin resistance and I'm very concerned this will get stuck! Apparently there isn't a liquid form. Anyone take this without any problems???

Jenn - did you discuss the size of the pills with thrm or are you taking the non extended release ones? I'm tempted to just try these bc my pharmacist looked up Riomet, which is a liquid form, and its unavailable from the manufacturers. I really need these meds just not sure my band will react well.

I think that is what I'm going to have to do. I submerged the pill in water to see how fast it dissolved and it is still in pill form. It looks like it'll sit in my pouch all day which is not going to work. Ill have to get him to write me another script for something else.

Ok so I used to be pretty active in this forum before and after my band. I'm doing well and going on about 2 1/2 years of being banded. I've lost 63 lbs, im sure my profile says something different as I have haven't updated Ina while. But anyway, my husband and I have been desperately trying to have a baby and just started seeing a fertility specialist, who determined that I'm insulin resistant, which is affecting the quality of my eggs. He Rx'd metformin. Well I just picked them up and they are HUGE! The pharmacist said that there is no liquid form and its extended release so I can't break it up. They seem pretty chalky which usually means it'll dissolve quickly but I'm concerned it will get stuck. Anyone take this without any problems?

I'm out 9mos and 51lbs down with about 30 to get to my personal goal.. its definately slowed way down recently but I'm very happy overall. Congrats on all your success everyone! :f

I agree with the second opinion. I had a very large hiatal hernia fixed during lap band surgery.

That's where I go and they always use a siringe.

I waited about 4 weeks and I'm still here, Lapband is great and I'm down 51 lbs. Surgery was 10/27. I also love my beer and my surgeon fave me the empty calories speech but also said I should enjoy these vices, in moderation. He said some people can handle carbonation, other can't. I CAN! ! ! SO YAY. I think to have a drink, as long add you feel good would be fine. Just listen to your body.

I can't do the crush thing or let it dissolve in my mouth.. .cvs has liquid Tylenol? Adult liquid Tylenol?? ?

Ya, that just makes me vomit.
