I have it but am not banded yet. Are you on BCPs? That totally controlled all my symptoms. Did you stop taking them for the surgery? That can screw with the hormones.

U could try liquid ibuprofen until you can call ur dr n the am. u can crush vicodin but it is super nasty! I have the same girl issues, every month i am hoping weight loss will help!

no they took me off bcp cause they didnt work for me. ibprophin doesnt work either its too weak. my pcos was so bad i had adhesions all over my fallopion tubes so they took them out and all over my ovary. i cant have kids. i went through invitro and it didnt work. now i am back to bleeding bad and major pain. looks like its back to the doctor maybe a hysterectomy will work. i went and called the phamacy and they told me i can crush it and you were right nasty ewww but if it works i can deal with the taste.

If you don't want or can't have kids then I recommend seeing your Gyn about a hysterectomy. I had uterine ablation in May and for me it didn't work so a few weeks ago I had a hysterectomy. I feel AWESOME now!

I also have PCOS and the pain is horrible. I am getting banded in 2 weeks so now I am getting a little worried about the PCOS and if it will get worse. I was hoping that the pain was going to go away....with the weight....? But....the band is going in, so I will just deal with the pain.

I tried IVF's and IUI's a few times, and I couldn't get pregnant either, which is the major part for me to get this band. So I can lose enough weight for the PCOS to get better, and then, hopefully I can get preggers.

Have a good day all of you!!!

good luck i hope it works for you. i was heart broken to find out that i just can't get pregnaut. i think cause your body is going through changes you will have more pain and if you are a bleeder like me then it might be bad. my husband is going to iraq again next year so for a hysterectomy surgery i am going to have to have my mom take care of me.

did you have the LAP-BAND® at the time and how did it go for you i want a hysterectomy but afraid cause of the LAP-BAND®

I had my Lap Band placed on August 6th and my hysterectomy was done September 2nd. The only concern was they wanted my band UNFILLED before surgery and my Lap Band surgeon wanted me on Phenergan 24/7 for the first few days to prevent any post surgical vomiting.

I was able to have a vaginal hysterectomy and it was EASY. They had planned to do a Robotic assisted surgery which would have been 5 small incisions just like the band but they decided to do it vaginally instead. I feel better than I have in years. No more cramps and no more bleeding. I love it!!

edited to add:if you have any more questions feel free to PM me. I don't mind!

I do have PCOS and luckily haven't had any problems. I have had 3 failed IVFs and 7 failed IUIs. We will do IVF one more time then adopt. I am sorry that your Dr wouldn't do IVF after 40 and that you lost your tubes.

I also have endometriosis and had a pelvic lap the same time I had my lapband. It worked out great. All the pain done at the same time.

So to you all you other PCOSers Good Luck and I hope you are as lucky as I am and not have any problems since being banded!

My infertility doc is who recommended the band. I failed IUI 5 times and the next step is IVF but they wanted me to lose weight first. We are in the process of adopting now We are waiting for a match. Good Luck to all of you TTC I cant wait to lose weight and try again.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
