Panther Girl

I am totally ready for the losers bench! We do have this!

I have been on Metformin for many years so I know how brutal it is, I hate it. Luckily today is may last day of taking it. I started with Byetta and I could not take how nauseous I was constantly, was switched to Victoza in 2013 and had been on it until September, they wanted my to switch to trulicity but ins would not pay for that either. take care and you will be on the losers bench on Monday!

Kimberly3, The Drs stated that the bypass was the one that would change hormones enough to take away my PCOS. I am also pre-menopausal so between the two hopefully something will work.

kc892020, Thank you for the information, it looks like we are having our surgeries a day apart, mine is the 14th. My bariatric team is also the ones treating my PCOS so I am lucky in that respect. I will be happy to get rid of the metformin, I have not seen any real difference with the spironolactone and I do not take progesterone. I was taking Victoza but ins quit paying for it. I also saw that you are from Ohio, I am originally from Ohio too. I hope you have great success, please let me know how it goes and if your PCOS symptoms subside.

My Drs. told me that surgery would pretty much eliminate my PCOS, would like feedback about this from ladies that have PCOS and have had the surgery. Thanks for any info you can give.

I am 53 and having my surgery on the 14th. I am not a vain person but if I am doing all of the work to get back in shape I want to look my best. I have already told my husband that I will be getting everything put back where it belongs after the weight is gone. So go for it!!
