I have read that the weight comes off slower if you have PCOS. I have also been told by the nurse at my dr office that people have the surgery just to cure the PCOS!

It was not easy for me but if you want it to work you have to be in compliance. You can do it, stay persistent and stay away from sugar, pasta, [emoji506] soda's and [emoji500].

I can say that starting 2 months after surgery my cycles became regular, and that has not bee the case ever. I was once or twice a year. So that is a big change. The acne didn't improve, so I saw a dermatologist in December and a prescription completely fixed that issue. Wish I had done that sooner too.

I don't have regular cycles either so that will be different and I don't really have acne I get break outs around the time I should get a period. My biggest issue is the extra hair on my face and my hair thinning on my head and the weight how has your weight been

Facial hair is still the same sadly. I had thinning hair before and as expected it got worse. But I do definitely see 2 inch hairs growing back now. And I'm hoping for a miracle of it growing back thicker. Yes I know this is a reach, but gotta dream :-) I just started Bioten a week ago. I figured it can't hurt.

I take biotin now and use the shampoo. When did you have your surgery and how much have you lost I go under Monday

Surgery was April last year. Down 90 lbs. Good luck you on Monday! Are you going through a program? Do you have a Nut? Support groups? Those things were very helpful for me.

Not really a program but I do have a local support group

It's not always easy to find people who understand the challenges you face after wls. I found the support group meetings to be very good in that regard. I hope you decide to give them a go.

So had my surgery and since the day of surgery I am down 10lbs in 9 days I feel like I'm losing slower than other but I'm still losing

So glad to see there are other PCOSers here! My surgery is next month. I'm hoping it resolves the insulin resistance, hair, etc. Best of luck to all of you!

Update. Im 5.5 months post op and got new labs this week.... my insulin level are down to normal, my testosterone levels are down to normal and I am ovulating on my town. Although we have to wait a few more months to try, my endocrinologist feels that we have a pretty good chance.of being successful. I'll be 46 years young and thanks tto the sleeve, a lot more healthy. Ive lost 82# from my heaviest weight and 70#since surgery.
