Hi everyone! I haven't had my surgery yet and was wondering if anyone else on here has pcos and if so has the surgery helped with the symptoms? I've struggled with my weight for years and am currently at my highest weight ever and all of the side affects from the pcos are just out of control. Also how much weight have you lost with the surgery? It seems like no matter how much I diet and exercise I can't lose any weight and this is my last hope :(

I had pcos and I came home off my meds. I have not had any trouble with it. I have lost 44.2 lbs in 6 weeks.

I have PCOS and I'm one month out from surgery. I've lost 25lbs so far. I'm still on metformin but can't wait until I no longer need it. I've seen a small improvement this month during menses (less breakouts, less cramps, less bleeding).

      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.
