Traci J. 207 Posted January 18, 2013 Congrats. I was on Metformin myself, but they released me from the hospital the day after surgery off of it, and that was the main reason for me having the surgery. Wasn't expecting such quick results though. The weight loss is just a bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seelessofme 63 Posted January 18, 2013 I wanted the surgery for the same reason and it paid off, now the added benefit is losing additional weight...I no longer take meds when I used to take a cocktail of pills! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amw157 42 Posted January 18, 2013 Just went to my doctor 9 days post OP he told me to stop taking insulin , metaprol , metformin You illustrate a great point that I have tried to underscore on these message boards. Too often I hear people use the actual number on the scale as the goal. They get stressed when they lose 4 pounds less than they expected. The number on the scale is TRIVIAL. You just hit a massive goal, the elimination of the need for diabetic medications. That's a bigger goal than any number on the scale, to me. My goal is HEALTHY, not a specific weight. Kick the diabetes, kick the high blood pressure, kick the sleep apnea, kick the sore knees ... those are my goals. Not the number on the scale. Oh, and WAY TO GO!
