Anyone Cured Of Pcos Since Having Surgery?



Recommended Posts

im 7months post op. ive been getting my menstral since the age of 8. im now turning 24. about 4yrs ago, i was diagnosed with pcos after not getting my period for over 7months straight. since ive gotten it, ive kept track of it ever since. since surgery, ive been getting my menstral but its never on time. either super late or too early but it does come.

has anyone been 100% cured?

i dont want to get on birth control. i just wish my body would do it on its own!!!

heres my cycle since it disappeared for 7months & came back one day.

***the days later mean i got it on this day & it took that many days for my next one to come. (for example, june 20: 44days later means my menstral came june 20th & it took 44 days to get my next one which is aug 3rd)***

I dont have your medical issue PCOS but I can empathize with your aggrivation. I bled for 18 months straight with about 10 weeks of non-bleeding scattered inbetween. I hope you get the answers your looking for.

It looks as though your cycles are getting a lot closer together. I have only had 4 periods in my life that have not been induced by birth control. The longest I have gone is 5 yrs in between periods. I have one child that is six and I only got pregnant with her after losing a LOT of weight, in a really unhealthy way, and was on birth control and had missed about a week of pills. She is my miracle baby. I am hoping that having the sleeve done will help me have another baby and take care of the PCOS.

Hope all the ladies here get what they want from the surgery!

Wow! I thought mine on PCOS was screwy. In 2004 I had ovarian cyst and uterine polyps removed after basically having three periods a month, I couldn't even imagine 18 months!

It took 6 months after my first son to have a period and 13 months after my second to have one. Both of my boys are miracles and we fought every step of the way with the pregnancies and progesterone issues. I am hoping this will help reset mine as well. Still have not had on menstral cramp or signal to let me know this is coming on.

So 6 periods and a sleeve later ( I'm 5 days out) her is hoping!

At the time I had no insurance. I had two teenagers and alot of other stressers. I worked from home which was both a saving grace as well as a curse. Couldn't even go to the store somtimes for fear of being out of the house 20 minutes would cause me to go through two tampax and a pad. Finally saved up enough to get an IUD in hopes that it would at least help. (I had my tubes tied after my second so I didn't need this).

After 2 months its alot better. very light, very unpredicatable but i can go months without anything. so much better. however, once i've lost weight i want this IUD out of me. if the bleeding starts up again i want a hysterectomy - which what i should ahve had if i had insurance at the time. i have insurance now....the trade off is I work for a lawyer who is an ass. Hoping that by January I have this partial hysterectomy done.

i have two children and often which i had more - now that empty nest is hitting. they're both at that age where they swear they don't want children so not holding out hope for grandbabies. maybe alot of pets inmy future?

I wish you all luck with your journeys.

I hope when I lose more weight mainly because I have this one stubborn hair on my chin. I already have six children, one husband, and four dogs so I am not wanting or needing to increase my family size I simply want this one hair to vanish and never come back

unfortunately, once it grows in, it doesnt stop until the root is killed. although pcos mightve caused it, it wont stop growing in cuz pcos is gone.. if that makes sense.

i have thick facial hair too. i hate it :(

off topic but I too have one stubborn chin hair since mid-30s. worse part is I've suddenly developed 1 hair on my bicep. I am constantly looking for it now because it has gotten as long as 3" before I've caught it before lol lucky i don't wear alot of short sleeved outfits but when that changes.....

      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.
