Hello, I am new to not only lap band surgery scheduled for June 30th, but also to a forum. I am 326lbs and I am so excited to have the surgery. I do have a question that I am having a hard time finding out an answer too. I have PCOS and that makes it hard to lose weight, believe after months of following strict diets and only losing 3 or 4 lbs is very flustrating. Does anyone have PCOS and banded and how are you doing on the weight loss? Thank you for helping. I have learned alot already just reading other threads.

Hi Mamalovell. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I don't have PCOS but I know there are many bandsters who do and I've seen it discussed here a lot. I know of several lapbanded women who have been very successful in spite of their PCOS. Go to the top of the page and type in PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in the search box. You will get a list of threads were this topic is discussed. Good luck.
