Riomet? (Liquid Metformine)

Hello everybody! I just came back from my 6 months check up after the lapband and I'm so happy with my lab results. Everything went down to normal! No more high cholesterol or triglycerides problems :) but my testosterone was high so they put me in medication again for my PCOS. Beside a birth control, they doctor decided to put me into Metformine again, to improve my insulin levels and to see if I can keep loosing weight (I've been stuck for a while) but since I can not swallow that huge Metformine pill anymore, now I will be in liquid Metformine called Riomet, anyone else taking this? I'm excited because I hate the bigs pills before and I think liquid Metformine sounds much easier.

I always had problems taking big pills, even before the lapband. I was in 1000 milligrams a day, and even with 500ml a day, I just can handle the trauma of swallowing them haha. I just don't want to take a risk to get stuck with a huge pill! (Also, My doctor recommended this, so coming from him, I will give it a try). I think is great to have an option of liquid metformin. I picking up my prescription today in the afternoon :D
