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.

      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.
