Hi everyone! FINALLY people with the problem as me! I also have PCOS and IR. Doctor put me on glucophage, in 20 days I have lost 8.5kg's, but I need to lose weight extremely quick. I saw a neurologist today who recommened gastric banning (I had never heard of it before) but I don't know what to expect and think about it. Should I consider it or should I not? I got married last year September 2010 and My Hubby and I desperately want to have kids but the gynae refuses to operate until I am under 100kg's. I have struggled for 15 years to lose weight....and I lose quickly the first few weeks and then I struggle.....HELP!!!! Do you know the estimate costs? Thank you for your help! Steph

Hi Girls! I am really considering this surgery (if you can call it that), I currently weigh 145.5kg's and I have been struggling to lose weight forever!!! First time I heard of this was today. Does it have any side effects? I am trying to fall pregnant but the gynae needs to do ovary drilling because my ovaries are inactive but won't do it until I am under 100kg's. Can the band be removed? Any idea of the cost's involved, I live in South Africa! Any details you could give me would be really helpful! Thank you Steph
