I stopped taking my metformin the day before surgery (June 2008) and haven't needed it since. 3 months after surgery I went to see my endocriologist and my a1c, testosterone, and insulin levels were all normal. At almost 11 months out I've lost 125 pounds and I don't feel that there were any weird side effects from me stopping the metformin cold turkey.
