Facial Hair

Did anyone notice a difference of the amount of facial hair after surgery?  I'm hoping it will decrease or go away all together.

I'm wondering the same thing.  I started metformin a month ago for the PCOS symptoms and I'm losing more hair on my head then before.  Plus the facial hair is horrible.  My medical doc told me weight loss will help with the PCOS considerably.

metformin made me lose my hair I hate that stuff!! As for the hair on my face well no its still there and hasnt gotten any better since my RNY surgery :( . Im 46 lbs lighter and its only been 12 weeks or so...sooo maybe its still to early to tell.

Hello,

I'm 6 years PO from RNY and had bad facial hair due to PCOS, my WLS didn't really do much to help it but I gained more confidence and found a great laser center.  That has been a God send for sure!  I know it can be expensive but it was well worth it for me.  I hope you find what you're looking for! 

Well I am sorry to say that my facial hair is still growing and I am 15 months post op.  I also have started using lazer hair removal and so far I am impressed, I only had one session and I already notice a decrease in the amount of hair under my *****on neck)  it is expensive $500.00 for 7 treatments and that is only my neck , if it does work well then I am going to do my side burns next!!!

I have had PCOS since I was a teenager. I menstruated for the first time in over a year in a half this week. I 100% completely attribute it to the fact that I started drinking spearmint tea. I did some reading that the tea lowers testoserone levels and should help with slowing down the hair growth. Within 5 days of drinking 2 cups a day, I started to get cramps. 8 days after drinkning the tea, I menstruated. I recommend trying this out. I got it at a holistic/herbal store. It was 4.50 for 30 bags of tea. Try it out!! Cant hurt, right? I got used to the taste. I add some lemon to it. Good luck!!
