Anyone here hAd the sleeve done and has PCOS? Just wondering if the weight loss is slower and if any of your symptoms have been gone or bettered since surgery? Would love some input. I'm getting sleeved mon may 14th!

I had surgery April 16th, at which time I was kicked off my Spirnolactone (50mg BID!) for control of my hair growth...cause I grow a pretty nice beard/mustache combo.

I will say, since surgery, I've only had to pluck a couple hairs. Which is a big change - in the past, if I missed just a couple days of Spirnolactone, I'd have long black hairs all over in just under a week! So it appears symptoms are already improving.

Ask me again in a few months

Spironolactone hasn't worked for me. It was supposed to help with the acne and hair growth. I think it is because my doc put me on 25mg QD, and she said that she wouldn't raise it because if 25mg a day didn't work then a higher dosage wouldn't work??? Errrrrrr....

Some of my hair is blonde, some dark, but very course. I can't stand the feel. I pluck daily. I think the acne is worse for me. I had such clear skin. Never had acne as a teen either. I'm glad to hear that surgery helped. I'm looking at June 22, but I haven't confirmed it yet.
