My new beginning

[Jwoods1001 0]

Hi everyone! I just scheduled my surgery for April 8th! I just finished day 1 of my preop diet... oh mylanta... i feel like crap! BUT I have been trying to look at the big picture!...

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 20 years old (6 years ago). It has been an uphill battle. My husband and I have yet to have any successful pregnancy's. We are praying that the lap band is the answer we've been praying for. Anyone that can share their experience with PCOS and lap band... I would love to hear any stories or advice!!

I am anticipating slower weight loss because of the PCOS, but also because I am just over the line to qualify for the surgery. Everyone I have talked to have said the more you have to loose, the faster you will loose it. Is this true? I am a very athletic person, who happened to be delt the lovely PCOS card in life... I am sick of feeling trapped inside of my own body! I am ready to be free =)

<3 stay strong

I have heard that as well. I also have PCOS and that is one of the main reason why I got banded. I guess we will just have to wait and see!

I have had PCOS for 18 years. It is a dreadful thing to have. I have spent most of my life since then obese. I have had 4 miscarriages and I have one daughter that I conceived using fertility drugs and HCG trigger shots. I was banded on 2/28/13, hoping that it would help me have more children as well. I have since lost 20 lbs and I feel great. I have not starting having periods again on my own, but I am sure that it is going to happen when I drop some more weight. We are going to start trying again when I reach goal. I wish you luck and lots of baby dust!
