My daughter has PCOS. I can sympathize from the caregiver standpoint. She had the band a year ago and had we known, we would have chosen better. She is going to have a revision to the bypass and I am hoping, as you are, that it helps! My daughter can't take it much more either!

I have PCOS and I have my initial visit with the dietitian at my surgeons office Mar 5 and decided on the gastric bypass vs the sleeve because of the PCOS. My symptoms are not that bad right now. I have the Hair growth on the face and chest, and weight gain. Has anyone of you ladies noticed alot of weightloss since surgery? My biggest fear is getting the surgery only to discover that the weight is coming off really slow

I have PCOS and am 4 weeks post op. I am down 29 pounds since the day of surgery. I think that is slow, but it falls well into the normal range. I have been through 3 rounds of unsuccessful fertility treatments and have a persistent (like for at least 5 years) cyst on my left ovary that is causing most of my issues. It is almost the size of my whole ovary and has been the source of so much discomfort. My periods have always been super awful, heavy, and painful. I was hoping surgery was going to resolve it all right away but my cycle is completely out of whack. I hope in the next couple of months, things settle down and I can start to have normal cycles again.

  • i have pcos.

oi joi.

it seems like it is one of many problems, so i haven't focused on it much. but yeah i have hair growth at weird places ;-(

does it get better after the op?

i am one week away from my op.

does losing the weight not help one to fall pregnant?

when I am a healthy weight we really want to try for a baby.

since i was a child i had horrible periods, very painful. even to the point of fainting.

really bad.

i started picking up weight after i started menstruating at the age of 12. so i believe a big part of my weight issues has to do with my hormones. as I was a thin and active child. the problems started with the periods.

any advice would be greatly appreciated. i am currently 30 years old.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
