My dr said the shock to your body from surgery will make you start. I did that too.

Thank you I was really contemplating going to er. Scared the crap out of me since I haven't had it in years.

I am trying to find the group, but I'm unable to do so.

Hi my names sara I have pcos one of my main reasons of geting my surgery is anybody else dealing with this?

I am I'm only 2 1/2 months in with the sleeve and I'm wondering if everything will normalize and if I'll ever get pregnant naturally.

I have had PCOS for so long...when I was originally diagnosed it was called Stein-Leventhal Syndrome. I struggled 20 YEARS with it. Every single symptom, I have/had. Wls saved my life. I went from 6 insulin injections a day, to nothing. My PCOS helped me get high lipids, battle diabetes, high blood pressure, hair loss on my head, excessive hair growth everywhere else, extreme weight gain...I could go on and on. 2 years post vsg, my ONLY regret: that I didn't do the surgery sooner! 2 years post op, 188 pounds down, healthy, and 10 weeks pregnant!

I just met with my OB 2 weeks ago at 3 1/2 months post op. I'm down 65lbs. She said that the PCOS has most likely taken care of itself. As little as 10% excess weight loss can greatly increase your fertility. My cycle regulated itself about 1 month post op. And I just recently had a positive ovulation test! She was very impressed with that. I am actually starting the pill and using confirms as back up until my 1 year in Dec. My husband and I are anxiously awaiting. But I want to hit my goal weight and my surgeon recommends waiting that long. Good luck to all of you!

Also keep in mind as you're losing fast excess estrogen is stored in your fat cells. So those extra hormones can cause your body to be out of whack for a bit.

Hi, I'm joining in a bit late... But have PCOS as well, and was wondering, when your periods resume and the pcos is clearing, does your facial hair growth stop?
