Mine did. And I went off my Metformin the day of surgery (couldn't swallow the pills). Two weeks after surgery I started my cycle after months without one. Four months post-op, bloodwork showed no signs of PCOS; I was having 28-day cycles, my skin was cleared up, my hair has since gotten thicker and I feel so much better. The way I see it, at least for me, it had less to do with weight loss and more to do with changing my diet. But weight loss is possible, with PCOS/Lap Band.

My suggestion would be that since PCOS is caused by insulin resistance you stick to low GI foods. Eat fresh meat, colorful veggies & fruits, and unprocessed whole grains like oatmeal. Cut out white carbs like bread, Pasta, rice, potato and sugar. Avoid foods that come in a jar, can or a box-most of this stuff has added fructose,sugar and chemicals that are bad for you. With the band you will be very satisfied on a diet like this.

I was told that it would be harder to lose with PCOS but as long as I watch the white carbs it is not hard at all. I have lost 100 pounds.
