anyone still take their met and spiro??
i'm almost 2 months post op and the doc said not to take my spirolactone or met (from right after surgery). but i feel like they really help me especially because i am retaining water like crazy and AF still hasn't visited! it's not like i am at a normal weight yet. i just wonder if i can get my doc to put me back on them. what do ya'll think?
I'm not sure about the spiro...but the met is an insulin sensitizing drug...and doesn't really have anything to do with water retension. Are you drinking enough water? Sometimes when I get dehydrated (even though I don't think I am) I retain water. As for AF...give yourself some time. You're only 2 months out...you may just need time to regulate. Estrogen is stored in fat...and if you still have quite a bit to loose, maybe there is enough stored to keep your hormone balance out of whack. If you are retaining water...ask your doc what you can do. All in all it's up to you...it wouldn't hurt to talk to them to see if you still need them. If you don't...why take them? Personally I'm sooo glad I'm no longer on met...
