Does anyone out there have PCOS? My 20 year old daughter does. She is going to have revision surgery from band to bypass. We didn't know that the band isn't very effective for women with PCOS. How do you handle mood swings, and sleep problems? Does PCOS go away post surgery? Thanks! Christi

I have pcos! I had the bypass 6 weeks ago. Before surgery I asked my surgeon what will happen if I loose the excess weight! He said that is will make a 80% difference! And my period will be 100% better. I do now have horrible mood swings :(

I have pcos Which includes pmdd. Right after my surgery I had a 2 week - worst period of my life. Now, after a hospital stint with dehydration my period has come back again - mood swings but not as heavy or as much pain. Just a really horrible headache/ Migraine. My doc said I need to see gyno for alternative BCP methods besides pill.

Another pco victim here as well. I am hoping the weight loss will help. I don't see why it wouldn't, everything I've ever read or been told is there is no cure but the best treatment is weight loss.

Another PCOS victim here! :-( I have no idea what changes to expect. I actually an on the IUD and prior to that I was on the depo shot. I rarely get my period and got it the night of my surgery. I was told by a nurse that it was mainly because of the anti-coagulant shots given to me and that many other female patients get the same. Now what I would like to know is if I will see diminished excess hair growth or not? That has been my major problem:-(

surgery date: 7/30/12

Thats what i need most of all.... to get the facial Hair growth diminished!! if not gone all together! I asked and was told that since its a hormone issues and the surgery will help with the hormones...it should start to diminish as the estrogen gets higher than testosterone.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
