Unfortunately, I have also been dealing with PCOS for many many years. I had such horrible periods that would last months that finally after five years of constantly testing different medications and going through hundreds of tests, I was told that my only solution was to get a hysterectomy. I went through with the hysterectomy and it helped with the periods but not the PCOS and my weight continued to climb. I spoke with my endocrinologist and he said weight loss surgery would help tremendously. I started the process in June and just got approved this week. When meeting with the surgeon he said that he has treated many women with PCOS and has never had a recurrence of the symptoms after surgery!

I haven't been scheduled yet but my doctor said it will be sometime in December Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I suffered from PCOS since I was 18 and had horrible bleeding issues to the point where it would never stop. Finally the doctor agreed to do a hysterectomy after all of the other options (hormones, tubal ligation, etc) have failed. He said due to my age, 28 at the time, that I needed to keep my ovaries. Well now I have horrible pain that I can feel in that area and my doctor says it is probably my PCOS or it could be endometriosis. He says losing weight will definitely help the PCOS symptoms and that I should talk over the options with a bariatric surgeon. Well through constant research on this site and other sites I have decided to go forward. Unfortunately, I am in the waiting stages until August 21 until I meet the surgeon. Sorry for the long post but it's nice to know that I am not alone. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@jamidub You are moving quickly, I wish I could have the same timeline. It's awesome that you will be sleeved so soon after starting out! You are going to do great, plus you have your sister for support!

@@KaiserKid I am in the western part of the state so I am probably going to Mercy or Baystate. MGH is a great hospital! Let me know how your approval with BCBS goes!

@@KaiserKid I am also waiting to see what is needed from BCBS of MA. I spoke with them over the phone and they said as long as it is a complete program including psychologist, NUT and surgeon that I would not need to have six months of appointments. Fingers crossed. I really think waiting is the hardest part!
