how much weight has anyone lost with having pcos

i am probably going to have rouin y done i am diebetic and have pcos.im scared that i wont lose any weight.its very hard for me to now.

I lost 167 lbs with the band and I had PCOS. It took me 16 months to loose the weight and I had no problems being stable with that weight loss either until I got pregnant, hahaha. I lost a lot of my PCOS symptoms while loosing weight too. Unfortunately I don't have to worry to much about it because I know longer have my Ovaries because of a hystorectomy. 

Don't worry.... you'll do fine. Just have a deep breath and a whole lot of faith!

thank you.i think im getting the rouin y gastric bypass.im ready and scared and excited all at the same time.boy talk about a head full.i tried for 16 yrs to have a second child and never did happen.after this surgery do you think my chances of getting pregnant are slim are not.

Well.... I had my first child 15 years ago... and wasn't able to get pregnant until I lost all the weight I needed to loose in order for my body to allow to be pregnant. I had my second child a year ago. So... yeah I think your chances of getting pregnant after loosing weight are really good!

thank you .

I have pcos and had roux-en-y surgery.  I'm only 6 months out from surgery, but I've lost around 90 pounds so far.   I had such a hard time losing weght before surgery and I was worried surgery wouldn't work for me either, but I was pleasantly surprised that it has.

Best of luck to you, I'm sure you will do fine!!

thank you very much.it really helps to have people like you .that took alot off of my mind may god bless you and your family and to everyone else thats reads this.

I have pcos but am pretty much asymptomatic now..

I had PCOS back before they knew that it was a syndrome. Back then, they just focussed on the cists. It wasn't until ~10 years ago that I finally had a GYN *****cognized it as a whole group of things. I finally had an answer to why I had chin hair!! Woo-hoo. It may sound silly to those who didn't/doesn't have PCOS but at 22 (so 25 yrs ago) and being of german/irish/indian decent, I was told that I should expect to get chin hair as I get older (22??) and that my nationality could have alot to do with it (all of which is known for NOT having much body hair!).

Anyway, I had my RNY +4 yrs ago and I have lost ~195 pounds and am at my goal weight. I am not on glucaphage anymore for glucose intollerence (part of PCOS) but I am hypoglycemic. I had a hysterectomy in 2003 so it's not an issue either. I do still have the chin hairs..but I don't think it's getting any worse.

I have heard of MANY who were told that they probably couldn't have any kids when they were pre-op who now have addition(s) to their family so if you still have your baby carriage in place, be careful as you lose the weight! Use a good birth control until you are ready to become pregnant (IF you want any/anymore that is). I would recommend your talking with your GYN about it pre-op and have a follow-up within the first 3 months. My sister was on the pill...and it quit asorbing right. The last thing she wanted was a baby at ~40 yrs old.

Good luck!!

I have PCOS, maybe even had.  I have lost 110 pounds in 6 months.  I did this as well after 10 years of not being able to get preggers.  Here is hoping it works.  The alarm on my bilogical clock is going off!!!!
