Much as it's a huge issue (no pun intended) for some of us, I remember hearing before that only about 50 or 60% of women with PCOS have weight gain as a symptom. This would hold true for the women in my chapter. A few of us are severely obese, a fair number are slightly overweight, and several are of normal weight or less.
