Anyone Cured Of Pcos Since Having Surgery?



Recommended Posts

im 7months post op. ive been getting my menstral since the age of 8. im now turning 24. about 4yrs ago, i was diagnosed with pcos after not getting my period for over 7months straight. since ive gotten it, ive kept track of it ever since. since surgery, ive been getting my menstral but its never on time. either super late or too early but it does come.

has anyone been 100% cured?

i dont want to get on birth control. i just wish my body would do it on its own!!!

heres my cycle since it disappeared for 7months & came back one day.

***the days later mean i got it on this day & it took that many days for my next one to come. (for example, june 20: 44days later means my menstral came june 20th & it took 44 days to get my next one which is aug 3rd)***

I dont have your medical issue PCOS but I can empathize with your aggrivation. I bled for 18 months straight with about 10 weeks of non-bleeding scattered inbetween. I hope you get the answers your looking for.

It looks as though your cycles are getting a lot closer together. I have only had 4 periods in my life that have not been induced by birth control. The longest I have gone is 5 yrs in between periods. I have one child that is six and I only got pregnant with her after losing a LOT of weight, in a really unhealthy way, and was on birth control and had missed about a week of pills. She is my miracle baby. I am hoping that having the sleeve done will help me have another baby and take care of the PCOS.

Hope all the ladies here get what they want from the surgery!

Wow! I thought mine on PCOS was screwy. In 2004 I had ovarian cyst and uterine polyps removed after basically having three periods a month, I couldn't even imagine 18 months!

It took 6 months after my first son to have a period and 13 months after my second to have one. Both of my boys are miracles and we fought every step of the way with the pregnancies and progesterone issues. I am hoping this will help reset mine as well. Still have not had on menstral cramp or signal to let me know this is coming on.

So 6 periods and a sleeve later ( I'm 5 days out) her is hoping!

At the time I had no insurance. I had two teenagers and alot of other stressers. I worked from home which was both a saving grace as well as a curse. Couldn't even go to the store somtimes for fear of being out of the house 20 minutes would cause me to go through two tampax and a pad. Finally saved up enough to get an IUD in hopes that it would at least help. (I had my tubes tied after my second so I didn't need this).

After 2 months its alot better. very light, very unpredicatable but i can go months without anything. so much better. however, once i've lost weight i want this IUD out of me. if the bleeding starts up again i want a hysterectomy - which what i should ahve had if i had insurance at the time. i have insurance now....the trade off is I work for a lawyer who is an ass. Hoping that by January I have this partial hysterectomy done.

i have two children and often which i had more - now that empty nest is hitting. they're both at that age where they swear they don't want children so not holding out hope for grandbabies. maybe alot of pets inmy future?

I wish you all luck with your journeys.

I hope when I lose more weight mainly because I have this one stubborn hair on my chin. I already have six children, one husband, and four dogs so I am not wanting or needing to increase my family size I simply want this one hair to vanish and never come back

unfortunately, once it grows in, it doesnt stop until the root is killed. although pcos mightve caused it, it wont stop growing in cuz pcos is gone.. if that makes sense.

i have thick facial hair too. i hate it :(

off topic but I too have one stubborn chin hair since mid-30s. worse part is I've suddenly developed 1 hair on my bicep. I am constantly looking for it now because it has gotten as long as 3" before I've caught it before lol lucky i don't wear alot of short sleeved outfits but when that changes.....

      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. 💜

      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. 💜
