I'm now 9 weeks post op and my cycle has dramatically improved. It's like clock work the last 2 cycles since surgery, every 28 days. My PCOS symptoms have improved dramatically. I'm not even on metformin or anything for pcos.

My period seems like it's all over the place. My surgery was 2/23 & I got my period 3/1-3/18 & then it came on again on 3/30-4/4 & came on again 4/29-5/1. I have no idea what's going on.

Your body stores hormones in your excess fat. So when you burn that fat, the hormones get released into your body, and then your body gets confused and your periods get goofy. I'm dealing with that myself, coming off a 10-day period. I've lost 30 lbs so far and I'm still pre-op, very curious to see what losing 100 lbs will do to my cycles!

LOVE hearing this! I've got PCOS as well and I'm hoping for a resolution to my symptoms and, once it's safe, to be able to have kids.

I'm amazed at how quickly things were going back to "normal" for my body. I had terrible acne, a little bit of facial hair (I wax my upper lip because I have darker hairs there, but they're fine hairs, I'm just paranoid lol), and now my skin has completely cleared up, I rarely wear makeup, and my facial hair has not come back as fast as it use to.

I was 9 months maybe 10 without a cycle... until the following day I came home from surgery. I had a full blown period, pretty bad too. Clotting was intense. I also have pcos, I'm like you in hopes this straightens things out!

So I have a weird question. How long did you guys wait to have sex? My surgeon never said anything about waiting so many weeks. I'm assuming that it's 4 to 6 weeks?

My sleeve surgery was such a shock to my system that I went into early menopause at 38 years old. I was hoping the surgery would lead to an opportunity to get pregnant and carry a child to full term, however, it seems like its not in the cards for me. I've decided to focus on the positive aspects of what the surgery has done for me and take advantage of my new healthy life.

Oh gosh, that terrifies me. I'm having this surgery in order to lose weight so I can have kids (married 16 years now, PCOS is evil), if I went into menopause I think I would just break. :(

Omg me too! I has the surgery to have a baby too. I have pcos as well. No period for 15 months. I'm 3 weeks out

The first 24 hours I was home, I had a period. First one in MONTHS. So I thought maybe that this was the beginning of getting lined out. I just was 3 months post op...nothing since. #sigh

Has anyone noticed drastric weight loss while on your period. I lost 8 pounds while on my period which lasted 16 days. My cycle was late for over 20 days. I was in a stall for 3 weeks. Just curious to know if anyone is experiencing the same.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
