Has anyone's PCOS symptoms improved after getting surgery ?

Possibly! I've been getting my face waxed every 2 weeks for a.long time. I had my Sleeve done on 12/5. Last week when I went for a face wax, my hair stylist mentioned that my facial hair is not as bad. So we are trying 3 weeks between face waxes. My primary Dr already took me off metformin (I take for PCOS ) because my levels look. I don't know about infertility because I am 47.

That is good to hear the facial hair can be annoying.

Yes. I did not have very many physical symptoms of PCOS like facial hair, or acanthosis nigrican it was mostly the irregular or absence of my menstrual cycle, infertility, mood swings, elevated hgb a1c therefore I would get hypoglycemic and of course the weight gain and PCOS belly. I am DELIVERT!!!! at 171.8 My belly is about a 28 inches I'd like it to go down to about a 24, 25. Hgb a1c is like 5.2, No mood swings although I do have periods of restlessness and anxiety that come and go. Cycles are coming like clockwork and they are fairly normal and weight loss remains steady. So yes I would say my PCOS symptoms have most certainly improved. I am 6 months post op.

I was on 3 meds for PCOS, my dr took me off all of them right after surgery.

I have pros and lap band done for myself to control the hidden symptoms of my pcos. You need to detox your body and be careful about dairy products for pros. I eat a lot of Protein and veggies and detox about 3 days a week and drink basil seeds for the antiflamtory I have.
