I, too, have PCOS. I was diagnosed at 19 when I gained 114 lbs in 15 months. My heaviest weight was 302, I lost 110 lbs 5 years ago, and have gained back 85. I don't have the issues with cramping or heavy bleeding because my period stops for a year or more at a time. I do get cysts, acne, and have a very serious facial hair problem that means I have to shave daily. My current weight is 275 lbs and I am interested in WLS in order to get my PCOS under control and for my husband and I to (hopefully) be able to conceive a child. We've been trying for 3 years and have had no luck, but we do have a 22 month old foster daughter we hope to adopt. I'm just curious about what the different options could mean for us. If anyone has a story to share I would love to chat!
