ReneK 107 Posted January 5, 2016 Are there any type 2 diabetics out there that were on January or metformin before surgery? Could you take it after surgery? The pills are huge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisee68 2,493 Posted January 5, 2016 I was on Metformin. They took it away in the hospital and haven't taken it since. Hopefully you will have the same experience. If not, I was told they may have to switch your med (possibly insulin) for a temporary time. Be sure to work with your endocrinologist or PCP (whoever prescribes that med to you).
