Omg I was sleeved a month and 2 days ago. I suffered from amenorrhea (no periods)due to PCOS. Guess

That's great Iliana! I have PCOS too! Everything went a little haywire for me after the first couple of months - mostly very,very light cycles. But then everything just normalized! I'm quite a bit older than you though. I bet this is going to be sooooo great overall for your hormones and body!!! I'm really happy for you!!! Don't freak if things come and go for a while. Lets keep rocking our sleeves! :-)

Yay!!! I have PCOS and im so excited for you! Do yall know if loosing weight will shrink the cysts on the ovaries? I have a 4cm cyst and a 6cm cyst on mine! I hope loosing weight will let them shrink and not rupture, if the can rupture.

I'm hoping after surgery I start mine. I barely have periods and if I do it's just light brown spotting. I want babies so bad!

I've gone to a few doctors but they just told me I'm fat (nice huh) and I had an ultrasound which didn't show cysts but my sister has PCOS and I have every symptom. Facial/body hair, no periods

It sucks!

I too have facial/ body hair and no cysts but somehow pcos. I got my period today without having my gyno "jump start" it. I'm two weeks post op. but I was told that anesthesia would effect my period, I just brushed that to the side.

But it gives me hope of babies without ivf. . .

Stellachick, I have the same problem pcos but no cysts. Check out a show (youtube) mystery diagnoses episode "the bearded lady" I tried telling my doctor I may have the same and he dismissed me. Anyways I take Maca, to help balance my hormones.

Yea I get my hormone levels check very often and they are always within normal rage. The doctors just always say its not your hormones alone that dictate your Hair growth. It's the way the follicles respond to the hormones. Ha laser hair removal had been doing its job.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
