    A little late to the party, but I wanted to chime in that I also have pcos. The chance of losing weight and gaining fertility is the sole reason why I'm getting this surgery. I can't even imagine ha

I have PCOS... I have had ALOT of trouble in the past losing weight... This surgery has been a godsend!

I have pcos too! It's very common and I think having the sleeve will help you lose a lot of weight and losing weight will eventually help ease the pcos with time!

I have PCOS also, before surgery I NEVER had period on my own without meds to induce. I'm 4 months out and I just started on my own!! I'm so very hopeful that things will get better!

Yep. I'm your poster girl for PCOS! But, this surgery is changing that! Since surgery I've been having monthly, normal visits from Tom (Time of the Month). My insulin levels came back normal at my 6 month blood work, I was so totally excited! First time I've ever not been classified as pre-diabetic! My testosterone levels are normal (at 3 months post-op).

Have to be SUPER careful now. I really want to hit goal, and be there for at least 6 months before we try for a kiddo!

Well I went to my infertility dr and everything looks normal he sed im just not ovulateing my suger is fine as well as my hormones but y havnt I gotn a cycle idk and its frustrateing not getting a clear answer now I have to wait till march 20th to start clomid I just wish I had the money to skip all that and just go directly with ivf

New jersey has a law that might cover ivf ck with banking and ins

I was told by my Gyno before surgery that there was a very good chance I have PCOS( trouble losing weight, unwanted hair, really messed up long cycles and he did spot some cysts on my ovaries).

After the surgery within a few months my cycles became completely normal, 28 days like clock work. I still have some lingering signs of PCOS but I think it's improved greatly since I've lost the weight. I also just found out I'm 7 weeks pregnant. So there is that :)

I think it does take time for our bodies to realize the weight is gone and for the PCOS to start letting up, but it will happen, just hang in there.

It makes it hard to lose due to high estrogen

Clomid worked great for me with my last child. Just do what the doc says and keep ur head up. I have pcos and was sleeved on the 19th. I am dying to not be hot all the time. And a period im not sure i remember what that looks like must less a normal one but fingers r crossed. I heard with weight coming off every pound makes it easier to get pregnant as well as makes symptoms less. Remember we didnt get heavy overnight and our jodies take time to reset once it goes back
