Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Noted your history of gastric bypass 10 weeks ago and now have increased appetite, stopping of Insulin, the greatest benefit you have got.
Also noted that you are taking metformin 250 bid. If the sugar is well maintained this too may be stopped by your Doctor.
As you know, if you still continue to follow the combination of diet, exercises and the surgery has already need done the results will be as expected.
Your second issue is about pain in cough muscles, you had undergone discectomy three years ago.
