PCOS/Band Success Stories

[lee_nyc 0]

Hi eveyrone,

I was just banded yesterday--yay! I was diagnosed with PCOS years ago and use metformin and the nuva ring to relieve symptoms--which are thankfully minimal. I have been told those of us with PCOS and the band will probably lose weight slower than those without PCOS. I'm just wondering if anyone can give info on if it did take them longer to lose weight and any other feedback you might have? Would also love to hear success stories...I'm so nervous that even with the band I'll struggle to take the weight off due to the pcos.

Thanks!

I have PCOS and my weightloss has been anything but slow. Plus I got pregnant 4 months after getting my band. I think it has a lot to do with what you put into it. I really watch what I eat and try to put the good calories in. I am also at the gym 5 days a week.

Best of luck

Thanks for sharing! That's really great to hear! I agree, it has a lot to do with what you put in to it, so i'm going to put in all i can.

This is good to hear. I'm getting my band in a week and a half, and I'm worried about being a slow loser too... Hopefully not!
