I was just wondering if anyone out there has PCOS and how it was effected post-banding. I have pretty bad PCOS and have a lot of the symptoms and I've heard that weight loss can greatly decrease symptoms. I'm just wondering if anyone out there has a story to share about their PCOS with the band.

Good luck to you! I was just banded on June 1 and I'm doing pretty good! Just take care of yourself and everything will be just fine!

I have 7 days of clear liquids, then 7 days of full liquids. Next comes 14 days of pureed foods, 21 days of soft foods, and then, finally, regular foods. I really can't wait to get to even pureed foods. I miss chewing, as odd as that sounds.

and I feel like if I have to eat one more bowl of Jello or sugar free Popsicle I'm going to lose it. What tricks did you have during this "clear liquid" phase? Is there anything that makes you forget that you're limited to Clear Liquids? Also, any advice for a newbie? What's one thing you wish someone had told you going into all this? Thanks in advance!

Hi! We had the same surgery date and we're both pretty young. I was just wondering if you'd be interested in chatting with me at all. It would be interesting to see how the journey goes for both of us. Let me know if you're interested. tnwhite2001@gmail.com

Hi guys! I just had my band put in June 1 and I'm super excited and a little scared. I live in Minnesota and had the surgery done by Dr. Sayeed Ikramuddin. He was great and the surgery went well. I am starting at a really high weight, 345 pounds, and I'm worried I will never get down to were I want to be. I know it's possible I just have to keep going. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in being a pen pal of sorts. I could really use a buddy in all of this. Thanks! Tanya
