I have been getting these kind of hot flashes for the last 3 months. I figured I was probubly menopausal as I am 51. Check with your doc you could be perimenopausal, there is a test they can do to check for this. Brenda

Yes, I had MRI last month no problems. Staples are titanium and do react like other metals. Brenda

So I got lost on the list, putting myself back on. 3lbs down since original posting. Brenda

I was super insulin resistant prior to surgery, on metformin2000mg, gliberide4mg, and 70+ units of insulin. Within 3 months I was able to quit taking all meds and in Oct. when I had labs done A1C was 5.5. This is a level that they don't consider you diabetic anymore. From what I've seen it either get to normal or is greatly reduced. Brenda
