Weight loss: Metformin helps those with type ii diabetes lose weight and manage their disease. If you are a candidate for bariatric surgery, and lose sufficient weight to be considered non-diabetic perhaps your physician will discontinue the medicine. There are other medications for diabetes that are typically added to metformin if weight loss insufficient. Try exercise too.
