Question about taking metformin after Lap Band
Hi, I was just banded on 12/3... went for my 2 week checkup and they gave me the go ahead to start taking my meds again... They went over soo much stuff I forgot to ask how to take the Metformin since it is soooo big.. is cutting it in half enough?? or will that get stuck??
Any one out there take this after Banding and how did you take it since it was soo big.
Thanks

Hi,
I will be having lap band surgery in January. When I picked p my refill of metformin (horsepill) on Tuesday, I told the pharmacist that I will be havin lap band surgery in January and inquired about a liquid form. She said they did have a liquid form of metformin but they couldn't just switch it. The doc would have to call in a new prescription for it.

Thanks for this....I was banded on 12/21 and take Metformin XR 750 mg. So far, I have had no problems taking it.
I think I will ask for the liquid form after a few fills.
thanks again!
