Great question! I have PCOS and even laser treatments didn't get rid of my excess hair! Hoping this surgery will help with ovulation. My reproductive endocrinologist is actually the one that recommended the surgery. I'd love to hear stories from others with PCOS!

Wow Karen, sounds like we are in this for similar reasons ; ) Do you know how long you have to wait before you can try?

In fact I saw my RE today 8 days post up and he was happy because I had wls and he said see you next july 3,2013 so you can transfer your last 2 frozen embryos. he said you might not even need any more fertility treatments maybe just on your own lol

Wow! That's great! My RE didn't suggest surgery but the WL will definitely help. Maybe only have to try clomid. Glad to hear the insulin resistance is better. I'm also diabetic and can't wait for that to disappear!

My dr told me to give your self one year and exactly on my first surgiversary I conceived and I just had a healthy boy without any effort or treatment.this surgery really worked for me......being an Asian me and my husband were under terrible pressures for getting pregnant from family side both mine and hubby's.but now every things just fine although I had a hard time through out my nine months but I guess they were worth waiting for.

Oh, this is very encouraging!! Our last round I was having to take 400units of gonal-f each night and boy did that get expensive!!! RE said that after weight loss, it probably won't take that much medicine : ) I'm also diabetic and can't wait to get rid of that monster! It is the other reason I really wanted this surgery (actually there are soooo many reasons to do it).

I have PCOS am 7.5 months out. My facial hair is still there, but I feel it's not as dark. My periods are still really heavy but they're more regular.

I had PCoS as well..I had my hysterectomy before surgery and my hair in my chin is still there even after two laser treatments. I will have to have more laser treatments to remove it permanently. I think once it's there..it's there..or at least in my case..it's there..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
