Pcos (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) And The Sleeve

1920-Zeta · August 31, 2012

I had various symptoms of PCOS since I started my period when I was 12 years old' date=' years of misdiagnosis, and misreading symptoms led to so many procedures and doctors blowing me off. Even when I was covered in fibrotic tumors and cysts and needing surgery when I was 19, my surgeon just said it was "random"... it wasn't until 2007 when I got pregnant after a couple of miscarriages the doctors discovered I had triplets. When the specialists started reviewing my history, the extreme periods, extreme weight fluctuation, hormones, severe back and forth cycstic acne- they finally diagnosed me. While 2 of my 3 kids passed away, they heavily medicated me and tried to get the pcos under control after I birthed all three of them. I've only had two serious episodes since, but right after I was sleeved I went through a horrific period again. I'm praying that with this weight loss my body will stop being ravaged... I see stories of hope on here and I'm so thankful.[/quote']
Oh no. Sorry to hear about your babies. I had to miscarriages. One in 08 and the other in March 2012. I was in a car accident did not know I was pregnant. About week later lost it. Im asking God for one healthy full term baby. Just one. I've lost over 53 pounds. I feel great. I.was put on estrogen yesterday to stop cycle. We will fight Pcos. I pray they find a cure for it.

I had another question its been occupying my mind these last few days. Pcos causes thinning hair male patter baldness true because I have it also. My hair is extremely thin especially in the front middle and on each side above my temple. How much worse does it get after the surgery? I'm just trying to prepare myself because from what I've read there will be Hair loss after surgery.

I have always had an irregular period. From age 12-17. Obgyn put me on ocella (estrogen) and my periods got extremely heavy when i took the "off-week" dose. She did ultrasound (pelvic and transvaginal) and found cysts on both ovaries. Also, blood work showed i have a blood clotting disorder thats genetic called Factor V leiden. So she immediately stopped the estrogen and started me on the depo provera shot once every 3 months. The depo will help dissolve the cysts. After the first 3 shots, i have NO period. So for the past 3 years, i have had no period, only sometimes slight spotting. BUT, when i lose weight rapidly, even while on depo, i get a period. This is because your body stores estrogen in fat, and we are burning so much fat with this restricted diet.

My surgery date is sept 14 and ill keep yall updated!

I had surgery june 26. My hair has not come out thank God. I wear a natural now. I use a Protein Shampoo and conditioner. I use BB products. I use leave in too.

I was worried about that too. Our bodies are different. I had to take a break from this forum. I was driving myself crazy listening to everybody.

Im back to eating my applesauce and unflavored Protein.

Don't worry. You will be ok.

Plus, I stop perming my hair. Back in June. I love the natural look. It is so easy. I have a min afro now. Im looking forward to wearing my hair up in a ponytail . Have you tried using Protein? I was watching a Utube video. This lady was saying her hair was coming out really bad after surgery. She said she used a raw egg in her hair. She used the egg as a conditioner. She showed before and after pictures. Her hair started to grow back after using the egg. She Massage the egg through her hair. She also said she was not getting enough Protein either. She said that's what made her hair come out.

I know how hard it is to get enough protein. I just started eating again. I was sick for a couple of weeks. food and drink would not stay down. Im proud of myself I was able to get down 25 grams of protein today without getting sick.
