  1. Are there any Banders w/PCOS - has it helped symptoms?

    Manxie replied to Manxie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    I would love to follow some stories of people with similar experiences. If all goes well I'm hoping i will get approval sometime in Sept and am hoping to schedule the op before my birthday Oct 7th. That seems like such a long time away.....

    I too had inferitility problems, i now have a 2 1/2 year old son. All the usual PCOS probs with uncontrolable food cravings. I am just really hoping the band can help curb the appetite and I will be able to get back to being active and feeling healthy!
