I am similar to you, except I've always been heavy. My primary motivation for this surgery (I'm getting VSG on 10/13) is that losing the excess weight is the one thing *I* can do to help my body regulate and get rid of the pesky PCOS symptoms I've been dealing with since puberty.  I was diagnosed in January, after my husband and I sought fertility help since we hadn't been able to get pregnant in 14 months of trying.  After 6 rounds of Clomid and Metformin and two very early miscarriages, we decided to try this while we let my ovaries take a break.  

I lost weight on my own (about 100 lbs) six years ago, but since my hormones seemed to turn a corner at 25 when I grew my lady beard and started breaking out and losing hair more, all that weight has come back and brought friends with it.  Even 100 lbs lighter my cycles weren't exactly regular, but they were more reliable than at my current weight.  

Best of luck to both of us.  I chose the VSG because it seems like the best option for my goals.  I know I want to get pregnant, I know I want to eat "normally" (only in smaller portions and protein and veggie forward), and it seemed like the best option for me.  

I was in the exact same boat. First of all it does get better! I know everyone's situation is different. For me I was on metformin for type 2 diabetes and to treat my pcos symptoms. I did fertility meds to have my 2 children. My youngest will be 3 in November. My doctors recommended having my children before wls. I guess the fear or potential for relapse if you will that once you become pregnant you will gain a lot of weight again and have to lose it again. I had my sleeve done in May this year. My periods have been monthly since my surgery however in now way are they lighter. Perhaps when I am further out from my surgery it will get better? My excess hair also hasn't subsided any :( yet I am hoping maybe later it will. I am no longer on metformin. And I can't speak for everyone with the birth control issues as I had my tubal ligation done when my baby was born. I know pcos plays a big factor in getting pregnant and not to be invasive, but has your spouse been checked as well? TMI but my husband had a low sperm count so combined with my severe pcos it was a tough row to hoe. Having my surgery has completely changed my life and I don't question my choice for one second! I wish u well and it will all work out :) 

I have/had PCOS. Similar situation. I had the sleeve and lost 80.2 pound since 1/16/14. By my third month out my period was regular. I got it every 30 days like clock work. This past month it was more like 5 weeks, so I am not as concerned. I have not gained back any weight as of yet. But I can say it definitely helped me. My gyno told me they dont know if its weight that causes the PCOS or the PCOS that causes the weight gain. In any event of "what came first", I had it, I lost weight, and Im hoping to keep it off.

Mind you - on month 2 i went back on birth control and my weight loss stopped. I have not been on anything since march 1st that regulates my cycle or anything hormonal in regard to birth control.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to private message me if you have more questions. I can only comment on my personal experience and am not a medical professional.

Congratulations!!!!!  That's fantastic!  Which surgery did you have and how did your weight loss go?  Did you find that it was slower due to the PCOS?  Any other helpful info would be appreciated.

I have pcos too and was concerned if the surgery would help me loose weight and help with pcos symptoms. After a 1 month post surgery I have lost 26-27 pounds and my period came in twice in one month. I haven't noticed anything else yet. But you will loose weight I am a proof slow but you will.
