Did you have to take metformin again after surgery?
I went off of mine pre-op and was back on it 3 months post-op. I have been a slow loser with it, so I don't think it had affected my weight loss at all. Although, I have had regular periods for the last year, the first full year of being regular in my 21 years menstrurating.

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values. - Ayn Rand
I too have not taken Metformin since the day before surgery and have not needed to go back to it as my glucose & insulin levels are normal. I do know a lady on my WLS Divas thread on www.soulcysters.com who did go back on Metformin and continuted to loose weight after reaching a stall. But she's pregnant again so is back off of it.

What are these med? I've never heard of them.
was dx with PCOS about 2 years ago, but I've never taken anything like that. In fact, all my doc ever prescribed was Birth Control & Glucaphage. He said something about a possible insulin resistance having to do with all of it. All I know is that neither has helped. I still have a lot of pain even when I'm not on my period. Plus, I have really bad acne & increasingly bad hair growth... on my face, arms, stomach...
Anyone have any suggestions?
