Hi all, I have never been diagnosed with PCOS but I know most definitely I have it. I have all of the above symptoms. I hate it, all of it especially the unwanted hair. Has made life hell for me in that department, self conscious, never fully able to be myself. I read there isn't a cure for it, but I do hope the losing weight will help a lot. I have never concieved a child. I want one, my boyfriend doesn't I am 35 and really it's almost now or never. lol.

Hi, I have PCOS too. It's really a pain in the a**!

I want to get the band to lose weight but honestly, I want to stop having PCOS.

I dont have the sugar problem but hair problem, depression, anxiety...i hate it!

For all you that got the band, did it help the symptoms?

I was diagnosed at 17 with it. I don't have periods, I take pills four times a year for my periods. I'm infertile at this time, which I'm hoping my lapband fixes, cause I so want atleast one child. I also have the darkening on my neck, arms, etc. I was on the metformin but it gas me diarrhea and my doctor took me off. I'm down 30lbs and I was banded on 10/29/12. I'm hoping to be down 20 by the end of the month. Living with pcos sucks but I'm hoping there will be some changes soon.
