How To Talk To Doctor About Lap Band

Hi all.

So, I was diagnosed with PCOS back in mid 2009. My doctor told me there wasn't much I could other than following a diabetic diet/exercise (for weightloss) and taking birth control (she put me on Yaz) to regulate my periods.

That was it. No real help. No ideas or suggestions.

I'm tired of being overweight and dealing with all the other lovely symptoms of PCOS. How do I bring this up to my doctor? If she refuses to listen, should I seek out another doctor?

anytime a doctor refused to listen to my concerns and try to find alternative plans for easing my ailment, i would be finding another doctor. weight loss cannot only help many illness, it can completely irradicate them. talk to your insurance carrier...look for a doctor who is more understanding of bariatric care. Best of luck in your journey :)
