Let me tell ya in 10 yrs of being morbidly obese I lost a total of 20 pounds i think. NOTHING worked for me. I also have PCOS . My OB told me " Mindy you WONT lose weight on your own it just wont come off" I had the surgery and expected to lose and that was it ! NO ON In the WORLD was more shocked than ME ( Ok maybe my OB ) that I lost 105 pounds in 10 months ! I am the MOST negative person .

The BEST advice i can give you is this . expect NOTHING but to LOSE . AND follow the doctors orders to a T ! If you do those 2 things you WILL do this ! If i can do this band thing anyone can LOL
