Facial Hair
I don't hit this board to often.
Yes I had hair before surgery.
And I'm now almost 5.5 years post-op and its still there. That hair will never go away. It will slow down in growth, I know I had issues with a 5o'clock. I spent 5 hrs one weekend a couple months ago and plucked every hair on my chin. So now between the meds I'm on, since my PCOS was only relieved lightly for the first 2 years post-op, then came back gradually with force, I only have to pluck every 2-3 days and even then they are not "long" or noticable.

A physician once explained to me, that once hair has grown on your face, it will not go away.
You can slow or stop more growth but it will not go away even if your hormone levels stabilize.
If you are lucky enough to have darker hair, laser hair removal is an awesome option. If you are blonde like me, daily shaving in the shower is the norm.
My testosterone levels and periods became normalized after being put on Metformin ten years ago. The facial hair I had then is still with me. The male pattern balding pattern slowed and stopped with the normalization of my hormones. However, I am about 3 months post RNY and it seems my hair is thinning a bit, on my head, that is. We will see, I may be paranoid as no one else has noticed it.
Good Luck!
