PCOS hair and period issues

I have PCOS and I'm currently 5 months post op sleeve. I just recently started having issues with my hair falling out. However, the hair everywhere else has started growing in like crazy on my face, neck, and even my lower back! I've always had problems with the hair in those areas but it's been controllable. Now no matter what I do or how often it seems it just keeps coming in thicker and thicker. Anyone else experience this? Also, how long after your sleeve before you started ovulating?

I have PCOS and am 9 months post op, all my symptoms of PCOS have virtually disappeared as I've lost weight. I did go through a stage where I was losing a lot of hair a few months after my sleeve - due to elevated testosterone when you have PCOS I think hair loss is something we are more prone too, I upped my Protein intake and started to take Biotin and haven't had any problems since.

hope this helps :)
