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!

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).

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..

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
