I'm not getting banded until the 14th, but I do have PCOS. If you look under the specialty support groups you will find a PCOS group. I'm feeling pretty good about getting the band over the bypass from reading their posts!

I have PCOS and have been banded for close to 3 months. I haven't had any problems with losing weight since being banded, but often struggled beforehand partly due to the PCOS. Also, I used to have a period once or twice a year and now I am as regular as anyone else.

Diagnosed PCOS at the age of 22.........infertility, and crazy periods..

Strict Low Carb straightened out my cycles and allowed me to get preggers (along with supersperm) as you can see from my stats I've had no problems losing weight with my band.

The specialty groups for PCOS is very informative. I was banded Feb 08 and am looking forward to see how the band plays out with PCOS.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
