nataliesunshine 2 Posted May 14, 2013 I am getting the surgery and I've told this can really help! My PCOS is bad it's making me really sick, loose hair.. Everything. 1 Sharshar09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandyrenee82 59 Posted May 14, 2013 I have PCOS. It's the worst. My husband and I want a baby so bad. We are hoping this weight loss helps. I hadn't had a period for over a year. The day after surgery, I got it. My hormones are changing. One minute I'm happy and the next cry at the drop of a hat. I guess when your body is out of whack it takes a lot to get it back to normal. Losing my hair and excess body hair is the worst thing about pcos thAt people notice anyway. Hoping this sleeve will alleviate some of the symptoms.

sstark1285 40 Posted May 15, 2013 I was diagnosed at 16. I'm now 28. I went 3 years with no period, I have thick dark hair on my face and neck and chin that waxing does not pull out. I have make patterned baldness so my hair is very thin on top, and a very large stomach. I am 3 moths post op and down 40 lbs. it's a slow loss but either way I'm losing. The hair issue is not resolving on my face, and more is falling out on my head. The weight comes off everywhere but my tummy (but eventually it will!). However, my period is back, a perfect cycle to the 28th day. Overall, PCOS is a tough one, but if you are TTC, your fertility will be back in no time! My husband loves me the way I am and the weight IS coming down. Overall, I feel so much better and symptoms will lessen over time. Good luck! 3 Molly3, Sharshar09 and HappyCat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandyrenee82 59 Posted May 15, 2013 I was 18 when I was diagnosed. It's a pain in the rear. And no one else understands unless they have it, too. 2 Molly3 and Sharshar09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too have it and I am curious if it will get better after the surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandyrenee82 59 Posted May 15, 2013 Haven't noticed anything yet. I'm just now a month out. I did, however, start my period the day after surgery and I hadn't had one for over a year. My hormones are kinda whacky. One minute I'm happy the next I'm crying for no reason. Surgeon said the more weight I lose the more estrogen is going to be released. So it may be a wild ride for us with our changing hormones. 1 Brenda0928 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bec101 227 Posted May 15, 2013 I also have PCOS. I'm being sleeved on 3rd June. I'm hoping with the weight loss I'll be able to fall pregnant! We'll all have to let each other know how we go with it all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharshar09 3 Posted May 15, 2013 I have PCOS and I'm hoping this surgery is going to be the answers to my prayers. I like many of you have had all the annoying hair issues and fertility issues that PCOS comes with. I'm hoping they will go away after surgery. It is such a pain and so embarrassing for me when i used to miss my periods when i was younger it never bothered me but now I'm 25 and I'm scared about my fertility I can't wait to get this issue resolved!
