I've got PCOS and had the lapband. I've lost 40 pounds since I started the process last October. I can't tell you if my cycles became more regulated as I had a hysterectomy almost 6 years ago. My doctor told me that my PCOS would likely resolve with weightloss.

I have PCOS and plan I go back soon to see if I have changed at all since getting my band.

I do have some diff occurrences with bacterial infections now that I don't eat as much so I am ready for those to go away!!

My cycles have been consistent.
