Dr Mohammad Jamal says that 90% of patients with obesity, diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome were able to get healthy again after bariatric surgery. And following a study in Orlando, Florida he says that all his patients desiring pregnancy were able to conceive after having a gastric band.
Robin Blackstone, president of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery says “This is a breakthrough for women. If PCOS has been a barrier to pregnancy and you are overweight, then gastric banding looks like it maybe good for you.”
Dr Jamal says “Obese women looking to get pregnant have new hope. At 600 pounds Lenikole Sisk thought she would never have children. Three years after her gastric band she became pregnant at 200 pounds. She’s one of the happiest patients I have ever seen.”

We have seen many women over the years who have returned to a normal menstrual cycle after losing weight with their gastric band or gastric balloon. Several NOSC patients who didn’t think it was possible, have become pregnant after their procedures.
