I was diagnosed a few years ago with PCOS.  Though no lab work was done, I was given a prescription of Glucophage and Synthoid.
I had RNY last year.  And surgeon took me off the medication.
New OB/GYN is now doing all the lab work..and now I'm waiting for results.
My question for you wonderful women out there...
Will Glucophage and Synthoid help or hinder the problem after surgery?

I was never on Synthroid but did take Glucophage for about 5 years prior to my surgery...4 years for IR and the last year for IR & Diabetes.  I stopped taking my Glucophage the day before surgery and have not needed to take it again.  My fasting glucose & insulin numbers are normal even now at 4.5 years post op.  If you still have a hint of IR the Glucophage may still help, but you have be careful of it bottoming out your bood sugars.  Good luck with the labs!  Keep us posted as to how they come out.

I also took both of those meds before and after surgery for a short bit.  And then was told my labs showed I did not need them anymore and I'm not on them now.
I did not think Synthroid was for PCOS though.  My understanding was that it was for hypothyroid.  Either way, both of these conditions have gotten better for me post-op.  Thyroid seems to be doing A-OK on its own now and PCOS is better but not perfect.  Just that the Glucophage wasn't helping it anyway after surgery and I hate the side effects!
Best of luck!
