I'm four years post surgery and 20 years ( and counting ) with pcos. The good news- the weight can come off, and I've kept it off, no gains. The bad- thought it's a little better the hair issue remains and my cycle is crazy still. I do take a Water pill and bc (helps with the hair and the cycle) but the surgery doesn't cure pcos.

Thats good to know. Glad to see the weight can come off. Just wish there were a magic cream for hair. Maybe some day

I still have to remove it but the hair grows back slower and it's less course. I did try laser removal, expensive and painful, but about a year later it started showing again. I'm not sure I want to re-do the laser but I'm thinking about it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
