I'm four years post surgery and 20 years ( and counting ) with pcos. The good news- the weight can come off, and I've kept it off, no gains. The bad- thought it's a little better the hair issue remains and my cycle is crazy still. I do take a Water pill and bc (helps with the hair and the cycle) but the surgery doesn't cure pcos.

I still have to remove it but the hair grows back slower and it's less course. I did try laser removal, expensive and painful, but about a year later it started showing again. I'm not sure I want to re-do the laser but I'm thinking about it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
