Hey pcoser's--

I'm scheduled for 10/23. Currently take max dose of metformin which keeps some of the symptoms at bay. Wondering if any of you were able to decrease or even stop it post op?

Thanks!

My Endocrinologist took me off of metformin before surgery on 9/4. She told me we would reavaluate in 6 months and have bloodwork done. I'm having to problems as of yet.

I was taken off Metformin about a week after surgery. Honestly, I was doing all that I can to be off it beforehand. I cut soda and most sugar out of my diet. My A1c was at 6 before surgery. After I went home, my sugar level dropped in the morning to under 70 which my doctor told me to stop taking Metformin completely.
