Pcos Resolution Post- Surgery?

[Efamcan 3]

Hello,

I am having the sleeve done as a cure for my pcos and infertility. I am wondering if anyone has had the surgery for this purpose and been successful. (Unable to have children before the sleeve, able to have children afterward.)

Thanks.

One of my main reasons as well for the surgery. I have heard somewhere on the forums that there was a study of 500 women who were unable to conceive prior to surgery and they were all 100% able to conceive afterwards. So I hope that means a yes for me.

When I went to my first information session for the sleeve one of the bits of info the nurse gave us was that we needed to have a good form of birth control ready because fertility goes way up as the weight comes off. My Dr asks that his patients not get pregnant for two years after surgery. I don't know if this is a standard or just what he thinks is best.

Not sure if thats the standard...my surgeon asks that his patients don't get pregnant for 1 year. I even had to sign a contract lol

On of the surgeon websites (it's in Hebrew so I'll spare you the link) claimed that there's 86% chance to get rid of PCOs-related symptoms post-op.

I'm 4 weeks post op and had surgery for the same reasons. My surgeon says that VSG can resolve up to 85% of PCOS cases. LapBand was only about 40%!

My PCOS seems to be completely gone now! Based on blood work and an ultrasound in October my GYN says I no longer fit the criteria to be DX with PCOS! The BEST part though is that after 7 years of TTC before surgery, I got pregnant on the first month I stopped using the pill! I am now 8 weeks along and baby looks fantastic!! Good luck!

That is fantastic news! Congratulations. I will be praying for a healthy and happy pregnancy for you! Thank you for posting. This is very encouraging.

I was sleeved on 2/8 and besides being healthy by losing weight I wanted to be sleeved to resolve my PCOS and hopefully have a baby in the future. I don't get my period at all and currently not on BC. I hope it comes soon.

PCOS here and 3 months post op. I had a baby prior my surgery but my pcos symptoms improved a lot, I am not longer insulin resistant ,thanks to my sleeve!!!

Well, I was sleeved 12/5. Prior to surgery my last period was in August... Within 4 days of surgery I finally had one and was so happy I could cry.... Today- although thankful for it I can't wait for it to get regular! I'm on my 4th period since surgery 2.5 months ago!
