Ok so I want to reinforce my previous post! If you are not ready for more babies, use protection. I have struggled for 20+ years with PCOS and infertility. Lost the weight and now preggo.......with TWINS! Oh yes, that's right, no fertility meds. Very happy about it, just shocked. :)

Diagnosed with PCOS two years ago, symptoms so bad hysterectomy was done shortly after. I feel much better now, but have gained a lot of weight since causing aggravation to other conditions. Hoping the sleeve will help. I wish insurance understood that PCOS and hysterectomy don't make weight loss any easier as we age. Not that it was easy beforehand. :-)

I am super excited after reading the improvements everyone has had after surgery. I've been diagnosed since 2005,after bleeding for over a year and finally demanding tests. I have been married for 2 years and we really want to start a family. My doctor said that the surgery will help with my severe insulin resistance and get me off all the meds. Right now I have my period about twice a year because I do not want to be on birth control.

Alright ladies. Here is my story.... I'm currently 28 years old, I would say at age 24 I was diagnosed with PCOS, but I knew something was wrong for awhile before that. I have every symptom that PCOS women can get. Especially the dreaded facial hair. It is so defeminizing that I have to shave my face everyday. I want to cry everyday. Why can't I be normal. I recently got my sleeve surgery two weeks ago as of todáy. My PCOS has always made me lose slowly and I've been struggling to get pregnan with my man. This surgery was my lady hope. I am still worried because ts been two weeks and the scale has not moved in six or seven days, an I'm worried this my ave something to do with my PCOS, losing slowly. And yes, I still have to shave. My question, to you post peppers with PCOS, how has yours changed since surgery, is there any light at the end of the tunnel?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
