female only PCOS any changes after surgery? or diet change?

[Camella 209]

I'm 43 and I've recently be diagnosed with PCOS. Looking at the ultrasound, I have clearly had it for an extremely long time and never knew. I am two years post op and I recently regained 12 pounds (which I'm working on). Since gaining this weight I have had constant pelvic pain and it appears constantly bursting cysts. My Gyno has said it is due to weight gain (although I find it hard to believe that 12 pounds could make such a difference). Has anyone experienced any significant changes in symptoms etc since having the surgery? Has there been any particular dietary changes that you have made that you think helps? I was pre-diabetic before my surgery and my blood sugar level was normal afterwards, so I assumed that the surgery had removed my risk of diabetes. However I have also just discovered that I am still pre-diabetic and that my sugar levels are higher than pre-surgery. Maybe this is part of the problem? I'm really not sure as this is all new to me but I would REALLY appreciate some insight!! TIA

I'm sorry! This is hard to hear.....I also have had pcos forever and am just two weeks post op. I'm really hoping it helps with blood sugar issues. I hate to hear you are still struggling. Could you be early menopause.......your symptoms sound hormonal. Are you on metformin? It always helped me tremendously. I'm hoping to never go back on it but if I need it I will.
