Hi guys! I am going to be having the VSG in February. I have had PCOS since Moses was a boy and am currently taking Metoformin XR 2000 mg every night at bedtime. I was wondering about taking the Met after the surgery. 

What I want to know is how long post-op did you wait to re-start the Met and if your PCOS symptoms ever improved.  I would soooo love to not grow a beard faster than DH. Have a great night and God Bless!

I too have PCOS. I am only 2 1/2 weeks out since my RNY so i cant say what the long term is yet on my PCOS. My endocrinoligist took me off the metformin xr ( 2000mg also****il I go back and see him at 6 weeks post op. I also hate that i grow a beard and thats the one thing I hope gets better with time.... I also am going to go do laser hair removal soon so i will let everyone know how that goes.

Hope this helps you and goodluck on your journey!

I also have Pcos and have been on treatment for it for some time now but with the metformin I also take Spiriton and it stops the hair growth. I use to have trouble with my moustach being dark and I'd have to bleach it but since taking the spiriton it has stopped.

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't.  Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened.  My Surgery was September 21/2010
