I am not a doctor nor anything medical or legal BUT I work with the public in a profession that has ties to a state regulations' department and am bound to what I can and can't say and how I represent things to the public by legal constraints. I get told a least a dozen times a month that I am going to get sued. I get threatened, yelled at, etc... at least a few times a month.  I absolutely have to believe that in 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of these cases the doctors were being perfectly clear about what they were saying. I say that because what I have personally experienced at work is that If you were to ask these same people who are so pissed off I can guaran-fucking-tee(hee) you that they will have me saying things that I have NEVER said before.  The best part is when they take something that I did actually say and then twist the fuck out of it until it is no longer recognizable. Basically whenever something goes wrong it is ALWAYS my fault according to these people. Where there is a will there is a way and there are a significant number of people who have decided not to take fucking responsibility for any damn thing. Therefore, the doctor said they are "perfectly healthy".  Side note: yep, I have been on Metformin both as a human sized person and when I was a former fat ass. The upset stomach part is a potential side effect and if you have that side effect the doctor can actually switch you over to a different brand of the stuff. From what I understand Metformin is generic. I believe (if I am remembering correctly) it's Fortamet or something similar. Basically it's coated so the medicine still works (and still decreases appetite) and voila, no upset stomach. Stupid fat ass thinking she "pooped" off the weight.
