Is anyone out there have PCOS & currently taking Metformin for insulin resistance?

I am a new RNY post-op. I also have PCOS along with insulin resistance. I took Glucaphage for a while pre-op then stoped taking it. Post-op my PCP just put me on Metformin 500 mg 1 time a day. Just wondering if anyone is currently taking this for the same reason & if it has helped in the weight loss? I heard the insulin resistance hinders weight loss. Also, how much are you taking & are there any bad side effects that you experienced? When I took Glucaphage before it upset my stomach something aweful!
