Butterfly66 63 Posted July 17, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timeforachange 1 Posted February 12, 2013 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 1 Obeasta reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tzbandtobypass 48 Posted February 12, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obeasta 92 Posted April 10, 2013 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.
