when I was a diabetic I had metformin prescribed for me. it made me very sick and I never lost a lb . now that I have lost 60 lbs I do not need medication. thank God.
@sharpie, while taking the medication, did you make any lifestyle changes such as reducing your carbohydrate intake? Still trying to figure all of this out.
Early last yr, I took Metformin before I even thought about WLS. I dropped from 271.2 to ~ 256 just with that. It does help (or, usually does for) most people. but follow your Dr's orders.
