This was a question I wanted to ask as well. I am pre-op and have PCOS. Never had a normal period sometimes no period then at times a month long period.I have had some hair loss, wondering if hair will grow back after surgery.

I was sleeved 1/15/13 and I had my first period on my own last sunday and it lasted 5 days, like a "normal" one! I know it sounds strange but I'm hoping to get one every month. I would love to have a baby. If you look under special interests there is a PCOS support group too. There are lots of women on there with great success stories concerning PCOS! :)

I was also sleeved on 1/15/13 and am hoping for a normal period. At this point I'm thinking its back to the same old routine of provera to regulate. I started while I was still in the hospital after surgery. This was not fun times but in the end it will all be worth it.

Good luck to you! I'm hoping to get mine every month and praying this time wasn't just a fluke. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you! :)

Thanks.. I take all the luck I can get. Good luck to you too.

I'm on the mini pill so I don't usually get mine every month but it's been forever this time!!

Had a really light period after nothing since before surgery which was in October!!

I went 9 months without having my period pre-op. Only had hair loss when I was first diagnosed at 15. Had surgery 12/17/12. Then a two days after surgery I got my period very lightly for a few days. It's been regular ever since then (always off by a two days or so). First 2 times were really heavy. Then this month it was only heavy the first 2 days and light the rest!

Part of the reason I got this surgery was to help my PCOS. However, even 10 weeks post op I'm noticing my hair is coming out a little more.
