    I was told the same too. Based on my own personal research that included countless journal articles and talking to both doctors and fellow PCOS patients, it sounds like as long you stay compliant, it will eliminate it.
    However, there are the precious few exceptions. Remember, thin people can get PCOS too. While most symptoms of PCOS are heightened by obesity, some can linger despite weight loss. My endo./ob-gyn informed me that some times, patients still have to take spironolactone and progesterone. It will just be in smaller doses. But the insulin resistant medication/s (i.e., Metformin) you will no longer need.
    Everything is determined by your post-op blood work. Make sure to keep abreast of your hormone panels and follow up with whoever is treating you for PCOS. Especially with rapid weight loss, your hormones will be changing at a constant rate until you've reached your goal weight and are at satiety.
    I hope that helped some! Good luck with everything. Love from a fellow "cyst-er."
