I'm lower BMI and having the sleeve for my Pollysistic Ovarian Disease and Insulin Resistance. Is anyone else like me? If so, did it help with your disease?

I have PCOS sadly :-( I was diagnosed with it when i was 21 and couldn't get pregnant. I am now 45 and am on my way in about 6 weeks to get my surgery. I hope it helps you if your getting the surgery.

I am getting the surgery and I've told this can really help! My PCOS is bad it's making me really sick, loose hair.. Everything.

I have PCOS. It's the worst. My husband and I want a baby so bad. We are hoping this weight loss helps. I hadn't had a period for over a year. The day after surgery, I got it. My hormones are changing. One minute I'm happy and the next cry at the drop of a hat. I guess when your body is out of whack it takes a lot to get it back to normal. Losing my hair and excess body hair is the worst thing about pcos thAt people notice anyway. Hoping this sleeve will alleviate some of the symptoms. I was sleeved4/16

I was diagnosed at 16. I'm now 28. I went 3 years with no period, I have thick dark hair on my face and neck and chin that waxing does not pull out. I have make patterned baldness so my hair is very thin on top, and a very large stomach. I am 3 moths post op and down 40 lbs. it's a slow loss but either way I'm losing. The hair issue is not resolving on my face, and more is falling out on my head. The weight comes off everywhere but my tummy (but eventually it will!). However, my period is back, a perfect cycle to the 28th day. Overall, PCOS is a tough one, but if you are TTC, your fertility will be back in no time! My husband loves me the way I am and the weight IS coming down. Overall, I feel so much better and symptoms will lessen over time. Good luck!

I was 18 when I was diagnosed. It's a pain in the rear. And no one else understands unless they have it, too.

I too have PCOS...after many shots and 10 different meds my end result was gaining 95lbs.. I have been struggling with my weight since and I too hope this surgery will be my answer! My tubes are tied so birth control doesn't help me, I just want to be me again!! ????

Hey there.. Just curious if you have seen any changes in your PCOS? I too have it and I am curious if it will get better after the surgery?

Haven't noticed anything yet. I'm just now a month out. I did, however, start my period the day after surgery and I hadn't had one for over a year. My hormones are kinda whacky. One minute I'm happy the next I'm crying for no reason. Surgeon said the more weight I lose the more estrogen is going to be released. So it may be a wild ride for us with our changing hormones.

I also have PCOS. I'm being sleeved on 3rd June. I'm hoping with the weight loss I'll be able to fall pregnant! We'll all have to let each other know how we go with it all

I have PCOS and I'm hoping this surgery is going to be the answers to my prayers. I like many of you have had all the annoying hair issues and fertility issues that PCOS comes with. I'm hoping they will go away after surgery. It is such a pain and so embarrassing for me when i used to miss my periods when i was younger it never bothered me but now I'm 25 and I'm scared about my fertility I can't wait to get this issue resolved!

I can't tell you how much it means to know I am not completely alone in all of this. I don't know any of you but I love you all already. I hope all of your surgeries go exceptionally well.

Natalie, it's great just to talk about this with people who are going through the same. We can all help each other

I was diagnosed at the age of 22 and I'm now 27 it's difficult to live with

Yes! Everyone, feel free to PM me I would live to have people to talk to about this.

Morning ladies! I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 19. I've always been told that if I lost weight it would help my PCOS. (At that time I was 150 lbs). I'm 34 now...weighing 255... Still dealing with passing polyps monthly and everything else that goes along with PCOS. I've had 3 failed IVF attempts and I'm currently in the process of adopting a little bundle of joy (being born this fall) I'm also going through the process of becoming a July sleever!! This is a very exciting year for me. I just wanted to suggest to all of you who want to become pregnant after fully recovering from surgery, please see a specialist ahead of time to make sure there are no OTHER factors preventing you from becoming pregnant. Fertility medicine stimulated my ovaries for me to produce 12 healthy eggs. But each time they were placed in my uterus, they would die... I was tested and found that I have high natural killer cells in my body and they reject foreign objects (organs, embryos) . Last year I tried getting an intralipid infusion to suppress my NK cells during the process but it still didn't work. As of now, I have 6 fertilized embryos left and decided to just adopt for now. I wish all of you the best of luck with on your weight loss journey and your journey to motherhood! :-)
