Great question! I have PCOS and even laser treatments didn't get rid of my excess hair! Hoping this surgery will help with ovulation. My reproductive endocrinologist is actually the one that recommended the surgery. I'd love to hear stories from others with PCOS!

I have PCOS and my RE recommended me the surgery to lose weight so my chances of being a mother can increase <3 Im 8 days post-up

Wow Karen, sounds like we are in this for similar reasons ; ) Do you know how long you have to wait before you can try?

In fact I saw my RE today 8 days post up and he was happy because I had wls and he said see you next july 3,2013 so you can transfer your last 2 frozen embryos. he said you might not even need any more fertility treatments maybe just on your own lol

Wow! That's great! My RE didn't suggest surgery but the WL will definitely help. Maybe only have to try clomid. Glad to hear the insulin resistance is better. I'm also diabetic and can't wait for that to disappear!

My dr told me to give your self one year and exactly on my first surgiversary I conceived and I just had a healthy boy without any effort or treatment.this surgery really worked for me......being an Asian me and my husband were under terrible pressures for getting pregnant from family side both mine and hubby's.but now every things just fine although I had a hard time through out my nine months but I guess they were worth waiting for.

Oh, this is very encouraging!! Our last round I was having to take 400units of gonal-f each night and boy did that get expensive!!! RE said that after weight loss, it probably won't take that much medicine : ) I'm also diabetic and can't wait to get rid of that monster! It is the other reason I really wanted this surgery (actually there are soooo many reasons to do it).

Omg i used 400 too :/ it was about 3,000 dlls just on meds and he said once i lost weight i might not even need meds and if i do it will be much less

i'm down 50 lbs w/pcos & my periods are getting regular now... it's very amazing! I'm 3 months out

Great job Trumpet Trinklers!!! Go you!!!

Hi I am 3 weeks out also wanting a baby! I have pcos. I've lost 22 lbs since surgery and the facial hair is still there! I got my period on the day of surgery and it lasted two weeks. I want to wait a year before trying. Good luck to you!

I have PCOS am 7.5 months out. My facial hair is still there, but I feel it's not as dark. My periods are still really heavy but they're more regular.

I had PCoS as well..I had my hysterectomy before surgery and my hair in my chin is still there even after two laser treatments. I will have to have more laser treatments to remove it permanently. I think once it's there..it's there..or at least in my case..it's there..

Boo!!! I hate this damn beard!!
