Pcos ans gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

Hello all I am just wondering if anyone else had gastric bypass due to pcos? Just want to know how much it helped with the many many symptoms that come along with the pcos? I have see a decrease in my cravings for the carbs and the sweets and I actually got my period for the first time in a long time I am sleeping better . So I am just wondering if other people have the same pcos struggles

I have pcos and it was made me finally decide to have RNY. I will be two weeks out and already noticed some of the symptoms have disappeared. Though only time will tell when I am due for aunt flow. ;)

question ladies....I have ALL the symptoms of pcos except one which is I have VERY regular cycles....anyone else had pcos with normal cycles? I was told that I have a low egg count which sucks bc I'm only 24...could that be associated with pcos?

Libra lisa, I have had pcos since I was 18 and have always had a regular cycle. You should ask to be checked for pcos if you have other symptoms that point to it. I had to really push my doctor to check for it 10 years ago as there wasn't much info on it then. I've been blessed that my only symtoms are the cysts and of course, the weight gain.

I went to a fertility specialist for that very reason and after all the test that were performed she never mentioned anything about pcos and I asked her but if I'm not mistaken she said that there wasnt any test to diagnos pcos OR that she didnt test for that...I get confused because I'm not sure if it was her or my former gyne (who by the way told me that there were no test to determine if I'm infertile or not) I couldn't believe she actually told me that and after that I got a new gyne!

I also have PCOS. I had surgery on Jan 16th. I've noticed less facial hair, my skin was always broken out before and now it looks great, my cravings are pretty much gone. I haven't gotten my period yet but I suspect I will soon.

      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.
