I agree, I was at a baby shower a week ago and had a piece of cake (small). I was fine!! Enjoy your piece of cake!

YAY!!! Congrats!!

Down nearly 70lbs in approx. 6 months...my after is still in progress...

Hi all. My name is Jessica. I also have PCOS. I was banded 11/15/11 and am working my butt off (literally, lol) to get healthy, get my weight under control and ultimately have a baby.

I am a bandster with PCOS as well!! I am 2 weeks from my 6 month bandiversary (lol) and just shy of 70lbs down. I thought about having surgery for years and also decided I was going to do it on my own. Well "doing it on my own" lead to years of dieting, yo-yoing up and down and unhappiness. Now that I have been banded I am finally finding real success and wish I had done it sooner.

I totally understand where you guys are coming from. It took between my fourth and fifth fill before I got to the green zone so just keep at it!! GL!!

Slightly safer, less invasive, shorter recovery time, longer term studies, in my doctors opinion it is a safer surgery for those who plan on having children post surgically. So far (few wks shy of my 6 month bandiversary) I am doing remarkably well and do not regret my decision at all.
