I take spirolactone for Hair growth. It has helped a great deal. I still get a few hairs, but it has greatly decreased, and is lighter in color. It also helps with a skin condition I have called sebaceous hyperplasia. I am pre-surgery, but I hope I can continue this particular med, because of what it does over all.

The laser treatments did not work for me at all, but there is a prescription cream called Vaniqa that helps some. Insurance doesn't cover it so it's a little pricey, but they usually give me a discount card for it.

I also have PCOS and had surgery to help with conception. I am 4.5 months post-surgery and have lost 75 of the 120 that the doctors wanted me to lose over the year (I would like to lose 150).

I had electrolysis for my facial hair and it has worked great.

I am getting conflicting information from my doctors. I am nearly 36 y/o and have been trying to conceive for 3 years. The OB/GYN and Fertility Specialist want me to start trying again in September 2012. This will only be 6.5 months post-surgery. The surgeon is recommending that I wait until one year post-op. She is telling me that the only reason to wait is so that I can lose more weight, but that I should not have any additional complications due to surgery, especially if I wait until 6 months post-op.

My husband and I are tyring to decie what to do.

Have any of you received this type of information?

Hi guys! I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS but I've been doing some research on it and I have a lot of the symptoms. I have a medical appointment on the 24th and Im gonna bring it up. The Hair growth on your chin omfg I've had that for YEARS this finally makes sense as a cause. I've also usually had very regular periods but he last year since I gained like 40lbs they have been very out of wack. I've also gotten some mild cramping latley not related to my TOM so im concerned. The hear growth on my chin has also been way worse with the weight gain then ever. Like I said I'm going to get this looked at.

My surgeon suggested me to wait for at least one year to get conceived ....give your surgery time to heal and your body to adjust to this change.luckily I conceived exactly after be year and the whole pregnancy period was horrible.so I would suggest you to wait till one year and you will get pregnant with out any treatment.trust me it's not easy after sleeve.

My RE wants to start 6 months out also. My surgeon said the reason they recommend 1-2 years is to maximize weight loss. He said it wouldn't harm the baby. I am 36 and I think the RE is concerned about time/egg quantity and quality. I'm facing the same tough decision.

Ok, this seems like the place to bring up this question. So, my fellow PCOSers.... after not having a period for 7 months, and now losing 42 pounds, I'm having the period from hell. I sorta expected it, but wowwie, is it heavy. I'm not sure when I should be alarmed. I'm on day 2 of the worry flow. Last year, my Ob-gyn gave me a pill to induce my period because I had a thick build up in my uterine wall from not properly cycling... so, I know thats whats happening. Its just concerning.... and uncomfortable. :unsure: Anyone else deal with something similar?

@ moreganK in June and July I got my Tom that is twice in the whole year well this August and I'm waiting for it again but when I had it it was very painful I drank hot tea and put heat packs which helped a lot another thing our body is not use to have a menstrual each month but I'm hoping that the pain gets better as time goes on.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
