Hello everyone this is my first post,so please bear with me. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism, and started the journey for WLS i was leaning more towards gastric sleeve, due to recovery time and some other reasons but i was told due to my issues and the amount i need to loose (i am 5'4" and 315 lbs) that bypass would be better. I guess my main question is has anyone who has PCOS and hypothyroidism had the bypass, did it help with symptoms? How was weight loss? I am unable to have kids due to my PCOS, has anyone been in this same boat and been able to have kids after weight loss due to the symptoms of PCOS decreasing? Thanks

I am in the same situation. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism. I weigh 319. My doctors all said bypass would be better for me because of my problems. I too would also like to hear from women who had bypass who have the same problems.

I have both and had my Bypass on July 13, 2016. For me it has drastically reduced my symptoms and I have lost 85 lbs. I do not regret having surgery at all and am feeling amazing! Good luck!
