I would say richard head. when I took metformin, I finally got normal weight loss results - ie, I actually GOT some results! My GP took me off it because I was getting bad test results - kidney or liver, I don't remember - but he mentioned recently that that's what the Doctors / Medical Weight Loss Centers give their clients.

I figure, as a first generation Italian-American, I'm only here today because my IMMEDIATE ancestors survived an uncertain food supply. I'm one heck of an efficient fat storer.

P.s. His comment about Zyprexa not having any calories? would have had me slamming down the phone at his demeaning hostility. Or shoving the phone up his patootie. Really? I mean, really? Oh I did not know that. A- sshat.
