I can sympathize. My Endo told me to stop eating so much and exercise more when I went to him about possible surgery. He knows I have PCOS and that I've struggled. Solution? I got a new Endo. PCOS is a struggle and it doesn't matter what you eat or how much you exercise because you're trapped in an endless loop of 'lose the weight to get rid of PCOS, but you have to cure the PCOS to lose the weight'. Get a new PCP and don't let anyone waste your time. Good luck!

Hello, This is my first post so I'm very new here. I'm having my lapband out this Wednesday and going for the sleeve 5/31/17. I was looking for some advice/information from people who have lived through the whole procedure already. I'm currently 205 and gaining no matter what I do. I'm so stressed out that I'll gain a lot of weight between 3/29 and 5/31 that it's all I can think about! I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance and also, I have my wedding this October. I know I'm smaller than most people who have gotten the sleeve but I've struggled my entire life and I'm ready to get this tool to help me finally succeed, as the band did nothing for me except make me throw up every day for the last 2 years. Does anyone suffer from the same things (PCOS & IR) as me? Have you found success? Any advice from anyone is much, much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Amanda
