Hiya! Just wanted to lend some support... I have PCOS and I'm banded. I haven't been TTC so I can't comment on how that's changed, but I HAVE been losing steadily. I'm not on Metformin or any other meds for PCOS. My period is showing up more often and becoming much more regular, so that tells me that my body is likely ovulating- which didn't happen before.

Women with PCOS definitely can have success with the band- just remember that you still do most of the work yourself. I'd say at this point my loss is 95% me, 5% my band- but i'll take it!

I have PCOS and I have been doing well. I am almost at goal ( might settle for 150 though I was hoping for 140) and love my band.

I am not taking any meds ( I used to take metformin but stopped when I left for Korea) and only take bc.

I am not ttc but I hope one day since I have been at a healthy BMI for some time now, that I will be able to get pregnant.
