 Have you had Lap-Band surgery?
(I'm posting here because I don't have enough post to post on the WLS board I'm told!)
I am considering the lap-band surgery and I’m hoping you have the time to answer some questions for me before I make a decision. What the doctor says sounds great, but I’m interested in the what the PCOSers who have had the surgery have to say and your experience with lap-band. Here are some of the questions I have before I take the plunge and go for the surgery!
1. What were your PCOS symptoms before surgery?
2. What are your PCOS symptoms now, after the surgery?
3. How long before you noticed PCOS symptoms (besides weight loss) disappear if you did?
4. About how many pounds a month did/do you lose after the surgery?
5. Would you do it again if you had to?
6. What was/is the hardest part about the surgery and/or life after surgery?
7. Was there anything you had to do before the surgery?
8. After the surgery, were there a lot of doctor visits? If so, what for?
9. Were there any complications?
10. Any other information, advice or suggestions?
I REALLY appreciate you taking the time to answer some of my questions before I do this. It’s a HUGE decision and I’m a little nervous about it.
