I need help knowing if these horse pills (time release) get stuck a lot or not. Doc said I'd be ok but I'm looking for someone with experience with that specific med.

I am still taking the powder form and was also told that I could have the tablets now as I am almost 2 month post op. I am too scared to take them unless they get stuck

I'm 8 years postOp. I take these meds with no issues IF I pay close attention and take a little sip of water.

How often would you say they get stuck?

I never knew about the powder form. Only the liquid which costs a fortune.

I'm on the Metformin ER, and I do not have a problem taking my pills, I am ten days post op....

I thought once you have surgery you don't need any diabetes meds?????? Do we still have to take them? Then what's the point of surgery ?????

The band doesn't cure diabetes. It is a tool that assists weight loss. Some patients loose weight and no longer require certain meds. I was taking high blood pressure meds pre band. Now, after loosing 68lbs my blood pressure is normal without any medication. The same happens with some diabetic patients.
