I am still waiting on my surgery date and I have been wondering of the people who have been sleeved and who have Poly cystic ovarian syndrome if losing their weight has been harder than most or slower than expected? I have had issues with the losing weight due to this and don’t want to set myself up thinking I will be like most every one when really it isn’t true due to the PCOS. I guess I am afraid that this sleeve will not work for me like so many other “food plans” haven’t. Please reply if you have PCOS Thank you so much.

I have PCOS and my weight loss has been slow. I have not exercised as much as I should though, which is part of it I'm sure. I haven't had my hormones checked but am curious if my LH:FSH ratio is improved...guessing it is.

I have pcos and was wondering the same thing. Wish I could answer. Haven't been sleeved yet but look forward to hearing from others who are n the same boat

I have PCOS an I am 13 days out and my weight loss so far ( still VERY early ) has been wonderful 28 lbs gone and I will start working out as soon as my Dr give me the OK to start. I off my metformin since my surgery and I am doing good without my insulin meds I think having PCOS won't stop you for losing weight as others and your symptoms will improve as you keep eating healthy and exercising

I have pcos, I am 3 weeks out and have lost a total (including preop diet) of 36 lbs.. but just found out now I have ovarian cysts, so here goes another set of problems uggghhh... good luck

I have PCOS. I was sleeved august 26th and have only lost 40 lbs. It's been extremely slow and it upsets me. I'm just praying that as I lose my hormones will normalize and I will pick up the weight loss speed....

HI ! I am scheduled for surgery 2/7 so in a about a week and a half. I am debating on changing my surgery to having the RY (Gastric Bypass) because I am worried that I will not be happy with the results. I have severe PCOS, with insulin resistance that is crazy bad I take metformin and 100u of lantis insulin and about 30-60 u of novolog insulin a day. I have tried every weight loss program out there and lose a few pounds nothing substantial and then i stop losing and stay at my weight. I also have mild bi-polar disorder which could be caused by the pcos, diabetic neuropathy, and bulging disk in my back. I wonder if there is anyone out there who has had the surgery who was severely diabetic (Insulin Resistant) and how your weight loss is going because I heard that the Bypass is more promising for PCOS people.
