Medications

I may have posted this in the wrong place--sorry. Had my surgery on Feb 11. I have done great--feel so good and clothes are loose.

I still am having Blood Sugar issues. Prior to surgery I was on metforim, Amary and Victozia--they were working well but I had a lot of nausea. In the hospital I was taken off of those meds and put on Lantus. The Lantus is not helping.

My endo doc says I can go back on Metforim and Victozia. I am concerned because they cause stomach upset and slowing of emptying of stomach contents.

anyone on these meds post-op? have many appts but docs are telling me different things.

I'm on 1500mg of Metformin and was taking Actos. Before surgery I was at 2000mg. Preop I stopped taking the Actos and never went back. (to many horror stories). I plan on cutting back to 1000mg after my next Dr appt in March. I never stopped taking the Met. I was only in the hospital for a day, so I kept taking it after I go home. I did crush them for a while, but didn't have a problem being nauseous. My goal is to be drug free by 1 year post op.

i was on the lantus thats has to be tweaked by your dr as it works through the night so you may need to increase it 2ml at a time it is a good injection to take, so contact your dr
