I was wondering have any ladies here had lap band, and have pcos? if so did it help with all the symtoms.

PCOS is the main reason I have had the lap band surgery in the first place. after a failed fertility treatment I along with my husband and endocrinologist decided losing weight to get my pcos under control was the smartest thing to do. After alot of research the lap band just seemed the best choice. I have lost 80 pounds since the secoond week in January 09 so in a little over 4 months. I weigh 268 now and am 5 ft 10. I have noticed a completely regular period since getting the band and my blood pressure has gone from 159/90 to 122/78. The band was the best thing I have ever done in my entire life I'm going to try and get pregnant in March of next year it will be just after a year for me then and I will go off the pill. Hopefully I will get my weight down to about 200 by then. Good luck to you!! Any other questions just ask.

THANK YOU so much, im kinda nervous about the surgery, but im sure everything will be ok. As long as I get cycles back in order, quit gaining, and get my blood pressure down(162/100). Thats my main goal for now.

wow thats awesome. i have pcos and have also had a failed fun with fertility treatment. i'm a bit scared of getting the band but it looks like its the best thing to do. i currently dont even ovulate so i have to do something if i want a family! congrats on your success!
