Lost 105lbs and then diagnosed with fibromyalgia and gained 50lbs back once I started Lyrica. Also have PCOS which has GREATLY limited by ability to lose weight.

I lost 90 lbs the first 5 months. Got down to 192. That's where it stopped. I swore I would never again get over 200. Ya right! Since then I have yo-yo'd anywhere from 200 to 240 which is where I am now. The surgery did have some kind of bad side effects which I guess are lifetime problems. I would do it all over again if I could afford it.
