I'm not getting banded until the 14th, but I do have PCOS. If you look under the specialty support groups you will find a PCOS group. I'm feeling pretty good about getting the band over the bypass from reading their posts!

I have PCOS and have been banded for close to 3 months. I haven't had any problems with losing weight since being banded, but often struggled beforehand partly due to the PCOS. Also, I used to have a period once or twice a year and now I am as regular as anyone else.

I had PCOS until I had a full hysterectomy 7/2006 and have struggled with weightloss too. Good lcuk to you and keep us posted on your progress!

Diagnosed PCOS at the age of 22.........infertility, and crazy periods..

Strict Low Carb straightened out my cycles and allowed me to get preggers (along with supersperm) as you can see from my stats I've had no problems losing weight with my band.

The specialty groups for PCOS is very informative. I was banded Feb 08 and am looking forward to see how the band plays out with PCOS.
