Facial & Body Hair??



Recommended Posts

I have PCOS, too! It totally sucks! I do have to admit, however, that I did enjoy not having periods..... I eventually had to have a hysterectomy, so I guess I still don't have them. :P I have had facial hair since highschool. I used to bleach the hair, then I started to pluck the hair because bleach wasn't enough, then I began to use cream hair remover because the hair was too coarse for the hair remover cream. Now that I am in my 30's the hair is dark and nasty just like "man" whiskers. :blink: I actually have razors all over the place. In the bathroom, in my purse, in my car.... because the !@#$ grows back in less than 24 hours!! :( I have had a few lazer hair treatments over the last year. I still need to have a few more to get it all, I think. I found that the procedure was painful, but not so much so that I won't go back for more. Once you get a look at yourself without the little stubble things that you can see under your skin (even after shaving)..... you realize that you would go back even if it DID hurt really bad!!! At any rate, I was really hoping that someone would say that the Hair growth gets better. I can see that the only person who stopped having hair growth doesn't have PCOS. That's not what I was hoping to hear....... -_- Oh well....

It does look like several of you have lost some weight! How has that been for people?? Difficult? Easy? Neutral? Just curious.....

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
