PCOS diagnosis

[LeanMeanFightinMachine 38]

Anyone have a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome and have any success with lapband or other weight loss procedures?

I've got PCOS and had the lapband. I've lost 40 pounds since I started the process last October. I can't tell you if my cycles became more regulated as I had a hysterectomy almost 6 years ago. My doctor told me that my PCOS would likely resolve with weightloss.

I have had PCOS and been on Metformin to stabilize my erratic insulin. The difference My surgeon says between me and a regular

Bandster is my body turns everything to sugar. My cycle indeed is more regular but I will tell you I yoyo more Now than I have ever in the past. It's been on the more difficult side for me but everyone is different.

I have PCOS and plan I go back soon to see if I have changed at all since getting my band.

I do have some diff occurrences with bacterial infections now that I don't eat as much so I am ready for those to go away!!

My cycles have been consistent.
