Default Newbie in need of a lot of encouragment

Hi all, my name is Kayla. I'm 23 and I have been heavy all my life but since highschool I've gained 70lbs! I was diagnosed with PCOS last year and I've been using it as a crutch for not trying hard enough. My doctor prescribed glucophage at my last appointment and I've been doing so research on it's effects. I plan on starting the perscription this week, I'm a little nervous about the side effects.

Wish me luck!

Default Good luck!

Kayla, my ex's sister was recently diagnosed with PCOS too, and she has been on the glucophage for a few months. I'm not that close to her, so I haven't heard details, but I haven't heard any negative stories from anyone else in the family so that's probably a good sign!

Good luck! And welcome!

You actually lose weight when you are on glucophage PCOS is a syndrome that you gain a lot of weight and the glucophage helps you to lose the weight fast....its really nice
