I have PCOS... I have had ALOT of trouble in the past losing weight... This surgery has been a godsend!

I have pcos too! It's very common and I think having the sleeve will help you lose a lot of weight and losing weight will eventually help ease the pcos with time!

Yep. I'm your poster girl for PCOS! But, this surgery is changing that! Since surgery I've been having monthly, normal visits from Tom (Time of the Month). My insulin levels came back normal at my 6 month blood work, I was so totally excited! First time I've ever not been classified as pre-diabetic! My testosterone levels are normal (at 3 months post-op).

Have to be SUPER careful now. I really want to hit goal, and be there for at least 6 months before we try for a kiddo!

[saritawillslim 11]

Well I went to my infertility dr and everything looks normal he sed im just not ovulateing my suger is fine as well as my hormones but y havnt I gotn a cycle idk and its frustrateing not getting a clear answer now I have to wait till march 20th to start clomid I just wish I had the money to skip all that and just go directly with ivf

I was told by my Gyno before surgery that there was a very good chance I have PCOS( trouble losing weight, unwanted hair, really messed up long cycles and he did spot some cysts on my ovaries).

After the surgery within a few months my cycles became completely normal, 28 days like clock work. I still have some lingering signs of PCOS but I think it's improved greatly since I've lost the weight. I also just found out I'm 7 weeks pregnant. So there is that

I think it does take time for our bodies to realize the weight is gone and for the PCOS to start letting up, but it will happen, just hang in there.

does pcos cause wt gain I have pcos too.

It makes it hard to lose due to high estrogen
