WavesandWolves84 12 Posted February 23, 2018 I went to my first post op check in and am excited that already I am able to get rid of Metformin. My glucose level is all normal and Im 30 pounds down. Im so encouraged by the way my body is responding to the surgery. Working on my energy level but just thankful for the wonderful advice I've gotten here as a "lurker" and for this surgery. I feel hopeful about my health and more in control of my destiny then ever before. 8 DRoseman, BusyMom945, Apple203 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long had you been taking the metformin and what dose were you at? 1 WavesandWolves84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WavesandWolves84 12 Posted February 23, 2018 Thank you all! Down South Aussie I've been on Metaformin for about a year and was taking 1500 MG per day. I've been able to lower my a1c a little with exercise but had kind of plateau. My bloodwork has it down to 5.6%. Now Im working on the two high blood pressure pills that Im taking. My HBP has been pretty persistent so Im sure I will likely be on this for awhile but my focus for getting the sleeve was getting healthier and this felt like a step in the right direction. Best of luck to you man and look forward to hearing about your progress and coming off of your meds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngieF 1 Posted February 24, 2018 Congrats, I was sleeved on 1-15-18. Going into surgery I was on 11 different medications 3 of those being for diabetes! Now I only take a 1 time a week shot all other meds gone. I have only lost 20lbs so far but so grateful! 1 WavesandWolves84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
churchgirl 48 Posted June 9, 2018 I was told to stop metformin, tradjenta, & glypizide - all for diabetes - the day before surgery & not go back on until my 2 week post op appt. Day 5 post op & my sugar has been great! Hope I can stay off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
