Hello there,
Yes, we feel your pain!! My consultant also wanted to take me off Met - but after a break of a month I managed to get my GP to re-prescribe it. I also felt it made a huge difference to how I feel, how much weight I lose/gain, and how I react to carbs.
As for paying to go back to the states for treatment - a much cheaper option would probably be to pay for private care here in the UK... there are lots of good consultants and you can get care whenever you want - just a thought? I haven't gone down that route yet, as I'm finding the NHS ok so far - I think it's largely a case of going to your appt as prepared with info as you can be so that you get the results you want.
