Hi. I am about 3 months away from getting the lap band. I too have a full on beard and have to shave probably more than my husband. You are not alone. I too wonder about symptoms going away after surgery.

I am new to this forum and hoping to find some good advise. I have PCOS and weigh 260. I am trying to decide which way to go... gastric bypass or lap band. I worry about the gastric bypass because of he rapid weight loss. I don't want all the sagging skin and the malnurished look I think you could get from gastric bypass. However, I am worried about how much I would actually lose with lap band and will it help with PCOS symptoms? HELP!
