Hello all I am just wondering if anyone else had gastric bypass due to pcos? Just want to know how much it helped with the many many symptoms that come along with the pcos? I have see a decrease in my cravings for the carbs and the sweets and I actually got my period for the first time in a long time I am sleeping better . So I am just wondering if other people have the same pcos struggles

I have pcos and it was made me finally decide to have RNY. I will be two weeks out and already noticed some of the symptoms have disappeared. Though only time will tell when I am due for aunt flow.

question ladies....I have ALL the symptoms of pcos except one which is I have VERY regular cycles....anyone else had pcos with normal cycles? I was told that I have a low egg count which sucks bc I'm only 24...could that be associated with pcos?

Libra lisa, I have had pcos since I was 18 and have always had a regular cycle. You should ask to be checked for pcos if you have other symptoms that point to it. I had to really push my doctor to check for it 10 years ago as there wasn't much info on it then. I've been blessed that my only symtoms are the cysts and of course, the weight gain.

I went to a fertility specialist for that very reason and after all the test that were performed she never mentioned anything about pcos and I asked her but if I'm not mistaken she said that there wasnt any test to diagnos pcos OR that she didnt test for that...I get confused because I'm not sure if it was her or my former gyne (who by the way told me that there were no test to determine if I'm infertile or not) I couldn't believe she actually told me that and after that I got a new gyne!

I also have PCOS. I had surgery on Jan 16th. I've noticed less facial hair, my skin was always broken out before and now it looks great, my cravings are pretty much gone. I haven't gotten my period yet but I suspect I will soon.

I had surgery on the 14th. And I got my period a week post op. I also noticed less cravings as well. My skin has not lessened up on the breaking out or the facial hair yet . Fingers crossed it will ! I actually feel a lot better as well less fatigue I wake up actually refreshed its amazing. I M losing about 2 pounds a week right now and Ina. Happy I am more concerned about how I feel not look. I am happy to feel better and can't wait to get in shape and not be out of breath and tired all the time

hey I had mine on Jan 18th but I pray that I will see a decrease in facial hair before I buy that $100 cream! But that's great...you've given me hope!

I had surgery in september and have pcos and slowly have seen the symptoms disappear I have regular periods now, less facial hair.
