all you ladies are so sweet, thank you for the advise and sweet words. im going back to the doctor on tuesday to see what else it is i need to do to make the insurance company listen to me!

hey girly it seems like we are in the same boat, im 18 and have PCOS aswell. I have been taking metformin for a little while and in the beggining it does make you a little sick, just make sure to take it with food and not on a empty stomach.

seems like we are in somewhat of the same boat. PCOS and all...im starting my journey too. GOODLUCK.

Im lydia and im 18 years old. For the past three years i have been struggling with tons of medical issues which have made me pack on the pounds. I have hoshimoto thyriod, PCOS, hypertension,narcolepsy,IBS, heart murmurs and high heart rate. When i was 15 years old i weight 100 pounds, and as of today ive hit the 200 mark. I am only 5 feet tall so the weight really shows and puts a huge damper on life. With my heart issues i am unable to work out or do cardio, and the PCOS messes with my hormones and cause me to gain more and more weight every month. I have dieted, been on pills and vitamins, attempted to work out and everything has failed. My docotr finally agreed to the lapband surgery, but my insurance comapny is saying they wont pay on it. I dont know where else to turn, if i cant get this surgery not only with my health continue to decline, depression and hopelessness are going to take over my life.:thumbup: im just looking for support, tips and friendship.
