Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

My name is Kelli and I live in Anchorage Alaska. I have battled with weight issues all my life. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 24. I am 35 now. I am pre-op and went to my psychiatric evaluation and it came out that I have PCOS. My counselor told me that a lot of women that come to her for counselling for this surgery have this disease. I am just curious to know if anyone else out there has this problem and how or if the weight loss surgery helped them.
