Please do alot more research before you consider anything that drastic. I have heard so many horror stories about those surgeries.
Take another look at your diet. It is not so much how many calories you are eating as it is WHAT you are eating. A Naturopathic doctor recommended a book to me called Eat Right For Your Type. It talks about how different blood types have different tolerences for foods. I am a type O. I have always noticed that I am sensitive to wheat and dairy. It makes me gassy and my nose gets congested. After reading this book I find out that my blood type is very allergic to wheat and dairy. I have been following the diet for a few months and am really starting to feel better. I am not losing weight quickly, but it is steady and healthy.

Diet and exercise WILL help, so it is in your best interest to continue with a reduced calorie, nutritionally balanced program, and an progressively more intense exercise program that has a balance of cardio AND strength.

It's virtually impossible for the human body NOT to change under those circumstances.

I'm not sure what type of 'results' you were looking for but even under the best circumstances, the most bodyfat most women (pcos or no pcos) can expect to lose per week is a max of 1.5 pounds (most will lose less). Anything more is unrealistic. SEE HERE: http://www.fitcysters.com/forum/topi...%3ATopic%3A860

Another word about lap band...if you choose this route, exercise will be a major factor determining if the surgery will be a success for you: Weight Loss Surgery: Exercise is one of the best predictors of success

Well I was going to see what you needed help with as you stated in the header that you were considering lapband surgery but I see that you've edited the entire post to delete it. If you need some information on the lapband surgery have you checked out the WLS FAQ located in the 'sticky' area of this forum? Anyway I'd like to help more but since I don't know what kind of information you were looking for I'm kinda lost...
