Vala-Hang in there:redface:. This was the story I got from my OB/GYN also, but 5 yrs ago. I also have a sever case of PCOS. After being on Metformin (for PCOS) and Provera for 5 yrs and 3 rounds of Clomid, still no sucess in the baby department. So not until about 9 months ago did I finally let myself come to reality....I need to lose a serious amount of weight before my dream of becoming a mommy comes true:blink:. I am currently waiting on insurance approval to have the Lap Band. Atleast you are already looking into a weight loss surgery and not wasting time. There are some really good stories about people getting the Lap Band, losing weight and then becoming prego. Although, I have not had the surgery, I think its a wonderful opition for people like me and you:thumbup:.

Lapband And Pcos
Hello everyone. I am new to this blog and very excitied to finally get some answers...Hopefully I will be banded with in the next 30 days, still waiting on insurance approval:confused:. I have been diagnosed with PCOS for about 6 years now and have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years, without any luck. I have been through Clomid-3 months worth, and Metformin-currently 1500mg per day, and nothing seems to work. I am hoping that the weight loss from the LAP BAND will help me to reach my dream of becoming a mom one day. **Baby Dust** to all ttc!!
