HI Tish,
I have PCOS and was banded in Feb 2008. I have lost about 55 pounds and many more inches. It has been the best thing I have ever done. I still have alot more to lose. I am off the metformin but now how developed a fibroid tumor in my uterus more than likely related to my ovaries trying to work again and not ovulating.
THe negative to this is that it is a slow process. There is no easy fix with those that have PCOS. Our metabolism is slow due to a lack of an enzyme to metabolize insulin. I don't eat alot but still not loosing. I have also had the port become displaced twice and scheduled for surgery on Friday. It is not a big deal but still frustrating. Follow your surgeon's advice and you will do fine.
Hope this is helpful.:redface:
