My dr said the shock to your body from surgery will make you start. I did that too.

I have had PCOS for so long...when I was originally diagnosed it was called Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. I struggled 20 YEARS with it. Every single symptom, I have/had. Wls saved my life. I went from 6 insulin injections a day, to nothing. My PCOS helped me get high lipids, battle diabetes, high blood pressure, Hair loss on my head, excessive Hair growth everywhere else, extreme weight gain...I could go on and on. 2 years post vsg, my ONLY regret: that I didn't do the surgery sooner! 2 years post op, 188 pounds down, healthy, and 10 weeks pregnant!

I just met with my OB 2 weeks ago at 3 1/2 months post op. I'm down 65lbs. She said that the PCOS has most likely taken care of itself. As little as 10% excess weight loss can greatly increase your fertility. My cycle regulated itself about 1 month post op. And I just recently had a positive ovulation test! She was very impressed with that. I am actually starting the pill and using confirms as back up until my 1 year in Dec. My husband and I are anxiously awaiting. But I want to hit my goal weight and my surgeon recommends waiting that long. Good luck to all of you!

Also keep in mind as you're losing fast excess estrogen is stored in your fat cells. So those extra hormones can cause your body to be out of whack for a bit.

Hi, I'm joining in a bit late... But have PCOS as well, and was wondering, when your periods resume and the pcos is clearing, does your facial Hair growth stop?

      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.
