Did Banding Get You Off Of Metformin???

[mi75 1,235]

i'm pre-op, well, still considering really...i'm PCOS diagnosed since 2001, had one successful pregnancy, and taking metformin 3x daily. one of my motivations for considering banding is getting rid of my multiple health dignoses, and also getting off my meds.

did your band make enough difference that you are off of Met? FYI- i am NOT wanting to pursue any further pregnancies. one bio daughter and one adopted son are great for my DH and I!

Yes it did! I got banded on 4/2/12 and was taking Meformin twice a day. After the surgery, I no longer take it and two weeks ago found out my A1C was 5.4 plus I am down 63 pounds!

all meds went to the trash. metformin,. cozaar, and crestor for sugar, blood pressure & cholesterol. Down 41 lbs and now only pop Vitamins and my even less mgs thyroid meds. I do regular blood work, so make sure your DR tells you how n when, yest. I did a sugar test, I do not think I break down carbs, even though I am down in weight n exersizing. Ill know next week how I made out.
