Out of curiosity, has anyone's PCOS dramatically improved or was eliminated after being sleeved? If so, approximately how long after being sleeved did you see the change?

Also, how has the side effects (hirsutism, cysts, irregular menstruals, etc.) of PCOS improved for you?

I'm right at 16 days post op, and have been wondering the same thing. No changes for me, yet..I expect things to start changing when I lose around 40 or 50 pounds..just my guess. I was about 40 lbs lighter last time I had a period. So I'm hoping it will be soon! Id like to know about others and when they were "regular" again, as far as periods, excess hair, etc.

Hi ladies, I am six weeks post op and pre op tom would come around every 8 months or so. I have lost 40 lbs and have noticed a slight change. The facial hair has slowed down a little and today tom came! Actually tom came the day of surgery (6/18) and I had it for two weeks. Also my pms was minor this time. I haven't lashed out yet. I did flip someone off yesterday but I don't think it was pms related... It was road rage ralated... Hmmm maybe it was pms..

I am 10 weeks out... No sig changes yet.

I have Pcos too. My cycles seem to get worst. I had to get a blood transfusion about 3 weeks ago . Due to the heavy bleeding. I was bleeding bad the day of my surgery .I've been in out the hospital My cycle, gallbladder, liver issues , and dehydrated. I have to keep pumping pain meds in me to eat and drink. My doc put me back on birth control. I was told that my cycles would get better. I've lost over 50 lbs in a month because Ive been so sick

I don't regret the surgery because Im off all medications. I go to the doctor today so hopefully my doc can stop my cycle.

If my hubby and I did not want one kid, I would get a hysterectomy.

I'm about 12 weeks. Lost around 50.. only thing i have noticed is my "dark" Patches of skin are lightening up a little. And my hair on my face is taking a tiny bit longer to grow.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
