PCOS and RNY

I am having RNY in a few days and was wondering about others.  Can anyone tell me exactly which symptoms were improved? 

Thanks!

LOADS WERE IMPROVED! I'm not insulin resistant anymore, off blood pressure meds, sleep better (didn't have sleep apnea but was prob getting close), knees don't grind & make horrible noises going up & down stairs, I have loads more energy & of course mentally, I feel new & inspired. Still on synthroid-that will never go away, once thyroid is fried, it's fried. My friend had it & she had not had a period in years, now she does like clockwork (it doesn't thrill her but it  shows she's healthier) Most women that had ovulation probs now ovulate (gotta get on birth control if you can still get prego until you're 18 mo-24 mo out ) The weight loss helps to balance hormones that have been out of wack & lots of WLS people go on to get pregnant, don't know about cysts. I have PCOS but am too old (45) to try anymore for babies-if only I had this surgery 5 or so years ago instead of fertility drugs! Good Luck, it is awesome!

my period returned to normal the very next month, i hadnt had a cycle on my own in over 3 years prior to surgery! no new skin tags since surgery. I had dark skin patches on my neck and one on my face under my lip, all completely disappeared after losing the first 40-50 lbs. Energy level shot up and definitely be careful if you've had fertility issues, i was told i would not conceive without medical intervention and here i am 6 months pregnant w/out any medical help! 
Goodluck with your surgery, if u have any questions dont hesitate to hit me up and add me as a friend =)

What is a skin tag?

Were you all able to get off Metformin and aldactone?

Its those little balls of skin that grow, usually more on over weight people and VERY common on woman with PCOS. They pop up around the neck and underarms, and I guess people get them, more often around their skin folds.
They Are Not Pretty! Your dermatologist will freeze them and  cut them off but its not usually covered by your insurance. I think I paid like $130+visit (the visit was covered minus the 20% that's my responsibility) for up to 8 to get cut off. I only had like 4 or 5 and some little ones that I didn't worry about but since I was being charged I found all 8 for her to do while I was paying for it.
You can also tie something around them and eventually the will turn black and fall off, my husband did a big one for me with horse maine hair. Its soo strong! and the thing came off in about a week but it was huge. I remember my mom doing it with a thread or ey string, but keep in mind the DIY ones 1) hurt like hell and 2) leaves the skin just a little discolored but it still looks alot better than the skin tag.

I read your post, and was wondering what birth control were you using post op?
