I used to suffer from another PCOS system that is not as commonly experienced. While most PCOS people suffer from too few periods, I had the joy of having them excessively. Mine would come every 17 days, would last anywhere from 8 to 10 days, and was incredibly heavy. And the entire time in between I had horrible PMS. Finally, about two years ago my gynecologist did some testing and discovered my lining in my uterus was about 7 inches thicker than normal. So, she did an endometrial ablation on me. When you have that done, it basically kills any chances of you getting pregnant in the future, but I was done having children so I was OK with that. Since having the procedure, my period comes about every 28 days, lasts about one day and is so light it is just like a bit of spotting and that is it. It is so wonderful now.

As for the girls, whenever I lose weight, I don't lose any in that area. So, my plan is to just have them lifted at some point.

This is a great forum! Thank you, Froggi, for coming up with it. I have some major "girl" questions and as soon as I get brave enough to ask them. Who better to ask though than people that definitely know some of the things that we deal with. It's like our own little private club. How cool is that!

I am only 30, but my boobs have always been saggy. I am hoping they get better as I lose weight, but I am afraid they will get worse. I wear a DD now, and I would LOVE to go down to about a C.

Carrie, I'm 54 so gravity is taking it's toll on me for sure but the upside for me is....I actually have boobies for the first time in my life! Before my stomach stuck out so much, you wouldn't notice I had anything. Now, my stomach is much flatter and you can finally see the girls! I've gone from a 56DD to a 36D. So even though the number and cup size is smaller, I finally look like I have something up top. For anyone that might be interested in a good bra....try Goddess. They have some great styles and are very comfortable. If possible have someone fit you because it certainly makes a difference when you get the right fit. I love the underwire one except when I fly and for some reason it sets off the scanner and I get pulled over to the side and have to have a woman do the hand held scanner. But oh well, at least I'm looking better when people stare at me!

Not sure if any of y'all can relate to this but....I'm 54 and single. At my age, not a lot places to meet eligible men so I went the internet route of posting on dating sites. Before I always posted on one for "BBWs". I kept thinking pretty soon I would no longer be a BBW but it dawned on me this morning...I still will be. Instead of BBW standing for Big Beautiful Woman, for me it now stands for Banded Beautiful Woman!

I had my first fill yesterday and ever since then I have been physically burping a lot more - no discomfort - but has anyone else experienced this? At times I only feel a slight restriction and other times nothing.

Every fill is this way for me. Even just drinking cold Water can cause series of small burps. It has caused me to learn how to burp very discreetly :0).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
