I would also be interested to know. I am pre-op but also have PCOS and wondering how long it takes to hopefully have some improvements without medication.

Same here I had the mirena for two years before surgery and my cycle was almost not there other than cramps every month and since the surgery March of last year it came back and longer, my gyog said its normal for that to happen after any surgery and it works different in every women!

How soon after gastric sleeve did you notice an improvement in your menstrual cycle ? I have pcos and had gastric sleeve 6 weeks ago.

I have had my sleeve yet.... but when i had my band... my cycles Improved at around the 2 month mark.

Went from having one period a year to completely reversing my PCOS and insulin resistance. Since then... my period comes like clockwork.

Hang in there... the stress of surgery mucks up your cycle.... it will improve when your body wants it to...

My sleeve surgery was such a shock to my system that I went into early menopause at 38 years old. I was hoping the surgery would lead to an opportunity to get pregnant and carry a child to full term, however, it seems like its not in the cards for me. I've decided to focus on the positive aspects of what the surgery has done for me and take advantage of my new healthy life.

I also have PCOS and I'm now 5 months out from the Sleeve. I went from September till February without a period, which isn't totally abnormal for me. Then it came like normal in March. Nothing so far this month. My doctor recently reduced my Metformin dose since my blood sugar is better than before surgery. My endocrinologist just advised me to be patient because my body is still adjusting to everything.

Oh gosh, that terrifies me. I'm having this surgery in order to lose weight so I can have kids (married 16 years now, PCOS is evil), if I went into menopause I think I would just break. :(

My period seems like it's all over the place. My surgery was 2/23 & I got my period 3/1-3/18 & then it came on again on 3/30-4/4 & came on again 4/29-5/1. I have no idea what's going on.

I've been charting my cycles for a couple years or so now, and while I've always been rather irregular, I've had my own "normal" pattern I could identify. I'm very curious to see what drastic weight loss does to my cycle and when things level out to a new "normal" for me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
