Dark Neck (did it go away after sleeve??)

The medical term is called

Acanthosis nigricans. I’ve had it since I was a child. I’m dark skinned but it’s still very noticeable. I’ve lost 33 pounds since surgery 7 weeks ago. Does anyone who struggles with this have any success stories? Or what should I be doing now to make sure it goes away

    My understanding was that this is related to PCOS. I'm not sure if weight loss alone will help if PCOS is still an issue.

    This is due to insulin resistance (sign of PCOS as well). Generally the more weight you lose, the less insulin resistant you are. Bariatric surgery also alters/improves several hormones that help improve IR.

    Mine has faded, but is not completely gone (yet). Also hoping it will go away completely after more weight loss.
