    Taken off metformin/weight gain.......

    Hello Ladies, just my 2 cents: I am not banded yet, I think I will have my Lap Band in May, but at the same time I have been working with my endo about the fact of big pills after the surgery. He told me that for a while I should stick to the Metformin so I will enhance my weight loss with the band due to my PCOS, so he put me on Metformin liquid. The name of the medication is RIOMET, cherry flavor and I love it.. I told him that why he didn't tell me before, even without the band it is much easier to drink my 2000mg a day than chew the 4 pills...:biggrin2: So don't give up the Metformin, just change to the liquid form. You will see the results faster. He also told me that as I start loosing pounds he will gradually start reducing my Metformin intake. Good Energy to everybody Vicky

    I got my denial but...

    I am with you. Hopefully you get approved as soon as you finish your 6 month weight loss program. I am on the same boat with BCBS TX, they request a 6 month supervised weight loss porgram and I am exited to say that I am on 5th month, however it has been difficult to loose weight as I am always hungry, but at the same time I haven't gain any weight. I am sustaining it. Don't give up your hope and keep in touch.
