:drool:OMG!!! I'M SO JEALOUS! I'm going to be banded on the 29th and after reading some of the blogs, I can't believe how strict I have to be on my pre-op diet...3 protein shakes a day for 2 wks, I feel like a starving, I called my doc, asked if there was anything else I can have and the nurse said SF jello and popcicles thats it! I'm so sick of protein shakes already. I have one more week...ahh...and today is my birthday, my family didn't have any idea of how to celebrate it, how do you get a candle to stay in jello? I'm looking forward to after the surgery so I can stop the shakes, and have broth.:tongue:

Well so far from what I understand they will keep me on the metformin until I give birth because you should not breast feed. But I am not pregnant and we are still not sure if I can get pregnant. I am praying I do though. I really want to though and once I am down 100 they will start helping me.. Can't wait. I still get the starving situations and I just have to drink and eat no carb stuff.. I have decided that unless it gets bad I am not going to let them put me back on Provera. Just keep working on it and yell to me when you get frustrated. HUGS Jessice

The symptoms I have are fatigue, I feel like I eat all the time and never feel satisfied! hair growth, skin tags, mood swings....you know the usually lol. I wish now I wouldn't have taken the birth control I feel it did more damage...gallbladder removal & I felt sick all the time. I stopped all meds after I had my gallbladder removed. May not be a smart move on my end but I hope I can right my wrong by having the lapband....do you think I'll still need the meds after losing the weight?

Hello there.. Yes having PCOS is not picnic but it helps to know you are not alone. I am only on Metformin as of right now. I was on Provera but they take you off of that kind of medicine for the surgery and after for a few months. I refuse to take birth control becuase of the depression it causes. The provera threw me for a loop emotionally when they put me on it for a month strait though. I was only on it 10 days a month. They did a month strait to try to help my Uterous or something like that. PCOS is not friendly at all to the woman body but there are many symptoms to it. Which ones do you have primerily? Jessica

I will be banded by Dr. Hall in Lubbock Tx and feel that this surgery will put my life on track...actually it will be the start of a healthier lifestyle. I'm commited to rid myself of all that ills me, starting with my ovarian cyct syndrome & Insulin Resistance. I'm nervious about all the requirements and hope that I can stay focused...it's going to be hard to give up all my favs, not just food but my lazy habits. I want to eat healthier and work out I do...I hope that the weight loss with give me the motivation I need to acheive...I want to be one of the banders on here that posts "GOAL". :Yawn: -
