PCOS and telling my friends

[Krystal0528 118]

Hey ladies, I just turned 27 on Father's Day an I also have pcos. I have had since I was 15, but was never properly diagnosed until I was 23 an me an the hubby were trying to conceive. When I was younger the obg would say that my irregular periods were just hormones! As I got older it got so bad that I would got months without a period an then I would get one that would last a month! it got to the point that I would wear a pad everyday for that just incase... I would be ok in morning start by lunch an then get home in evening and gone again! Then wake up to it:( Horrible... Horrible... Horrible I tell ya! Fast forwarding to my current situation... My fertility specialist recommended the sleeve due to such a high success rate, so I got with my insurance company did requirements an got it done! I was sleeved (Laparoscopic) in Houston Tx by dr Scarsborough. Had surgery on 5/28/14 an started cycle about 4 days later, but it only lasted 2 weeks! Yea I no that sounds long to most but it was incredible for me, since I'm used to the 2-3 month one that's off an on! Lol.. I still would wear a pad just incase it crept back;) lol.. When I left hospital I weighed at 290 an today I'm 263, so that's 27 lbs in exactly 1 month.. But get this I'm 4 sizes down to!! Incredible journey so far that amazes me more every day:) Good luck to all of you, an lets kick pcos' butt!!! you, an lets kick pcos' butt!!!

Oh yea.. I told everyone about my surgery! I'm a very blunt person an I can care less what they think. It's NOT the easy way out, thus is sooo much harder! I was very excited and anxious to get surgery done an my family an friends were to! They all new what me an the hubby were going through trying to conceive an were very supportive of my decision.

I was told I had PCOS as I had an insulin resistance prior to surgery. However, as I was preparing for surgery I went off of the birth control pill (which as many know is the treatment for it) and immediately regular periods. And this continued happening month after month, much to the suprise of my doctors, and in turn made them take back the diagnosis of PCOS. Having the weightloss surgery did not change my period at all, I still get it like clockwork every month around the same day, unless I am sampling out some other birthcontrol method. The surgery resolved my insulin resistance completely.
