PCOS and Metformin Question

I am POST RNY 4 months and my dr. took me off my MET the day after surgery. My period has sort of regulated but, the weight is not comming off very fast and my other symptoms such as facial hair, and the dark ring aroung the neck are not getting any better. Should I get my hormone levels tested to see if I should be back on Met???? Any info would be great

I was off MET a few days before surgery.  My dr suggest waiting a full 6 mths before running blood test to see if I need to go back on.  It makes sense to give your body a chance to level off before testing.  Hope this helps alittle.

Yeah, I would wait for a little while.

My surgeon took me off the metfromin the day of my surgery.  At a little more than 3 yrs post-op, my pcp did extensive bloodwork, which showed that my testosterone & cortisol levels were completely out of whack (in line with PCOS), so I have been back on the Metformin for the past 13 months.  My doc thinks  that metformin will be a lifelong maintenance drug for me. 

When you are rapidly losing wieght, your hormones (including cortisol & testosterone) go a bit haywire, but I think that once your weight stabalizes post-op that there is new/growing thought in the medical community that insulin resistance/PCOS can recur.  It is easy enough to check with a blood test, so if you have any doubts and/or it would give you peace of mind, I'd ask your doctor to do some labwork.
