pcos- my worst enemy

Why does this have to run my life? I just had the gastric sleeve, and am FINALLY losing weight. maybe its time that i win this war? :)

Hi Sammi. I know what you mean! I've struggled with PCOS since I was 16 years old, now 30. I'm pursuing VSG too and have a seminar scheduled for Aug 23rd. Good luck with your "successful" journey!

I had my surgery the 19th of this month. I am hoping this is the tool to nip this battle in the butt! :) The weight just kept packing on no matter what I was doing. I know it's only been two weeks, but I already feel like a different person. I am excited to see how my progress goes, and a friend referred me to this site. It's a way for me to put my feelings out without the fear of being judged :)

I also have PCOS, I'm almost 1 year of from VSG and I'm happy to report that I have had a regular period since about 2 months postop. I feel great, the cravings that came along with it have gone and my skin clearer than it has ever been.

I pray that you too win the war

This makes me feel so much better. the discoloration is something i have always hidden, and although I do not miss my periods, I am looking forward to having them so then I can start on having a family! :) Congrats on your success and thats much motivation for fueling me to keep going! 

Thank you very much!

This is great news! Gives me hope knowing someone else is being healed of their PCOS symptoms. Can I ask, are your periods heavier now? I have a period every 4 months, or longer, if they start on their own, without medicine. My periods are usually light and don't last too long if they start on their own, but, if I take meds, such as Prometrium, then they are heavier and last longer.

I had a IUD placed about 3 months ago but before that my periods were pretty light and lasted maybe 5 days at the most. Some months I would be on for 3 days.

Thank you all, This give sme hope. I have pcos and am considering the sleeve surgery. I am so tired of the pounds packing on and not going anywhere with diet and working out. Is the process to get it a long one?
