Has anyone had the Lap Band while dealing with PCOS?

There's a Lapband special interest support group about PCOS on this site. I have it, but have not experienced any changes yet, but I've only lost 30pounds so far.

Do you know the name of the group? I will love join it!

It's a sub-forum of this site. Look for Special Interest Support Groups and then a list of subgroups pops open with PCOS banders as a selection. Good luck!

Thanks!!

I found the group and I noticed that!! . But on a happy note my surgery has been moved up to the 18th of this month!!! Can't wait to start my new journey.

Wish you the best and let's keep in touch!

That is so awesome! I'm hoping that with this surgery it will help me to level out my hormones. Prob tmi but I recently started producing a substance that looks like breast milk. This stuff is just to weird. So at least I won't feel too much like a cow lol

I have pcos, are you on any type of hormone therapy??

The doctor gave me Birth Control & Metformin. I still take the BC but my body did not agree with the metformin. So I'm not longer taking it.

My husband and I have been tcc for four years on metformin and levothyroxide since I'm hypothyroid. Metformin doesn't do much but keep me in the restroom all night :/ pcos sucks

I also have PCOS.. I get banded 12-11-13 and can not wait!!

I take Spironalactone, Metformin, and Desogen birth control. I thought it wasn't really working.so I quit.for a month and promptly turned into a Chia pet (PCOS hairiness, blah!) I'm praying I can even my hormones out too. Combined with my medication and weight loss, someday I hope to be human again.....ugh

I no longer take the metformin since after being banded my A1c went down to 6.2 and the cystic tumors have shrunk to pea size. But I have the mirena and it has been a life saver.

I'm 4 days post op and have pcos. I'm hoping the weight loss will help with fertility.
