Re: Metformin side effects and Lap Band

I've had stomach upset/diarrhea with regular Metformin. My endo switched me to Glumetza with no side effects, then suggested Riomet (which is a liquid) in preparation for banding. I've had no side effects with the Riomet, plus it seems to be controlling my hormone levels much better than the others. Some people just do better with one type/brand over another.
