Any Sleevers With Pcos?



Recommended Posts

Quick question... Anyone have facial hair due to PCOS and have the symptoms of that (or any/all) die down or go away completely after weight loss?? Thanks

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).

Hi I am 3 weeks out also wanting a baby! I have pcos. I've lost 22 lbs since surgery and the facial hair is still there! I got my period on the day of surgery and it lasted two weeks. I want to wait a year before trying. Good luck to you!

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..

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
