I have PCOS and had surgery in May.

My cycles are completely regular now (27-28 days) as opposed to 30-32 days. They are lighter with less cramping.

The hair on my chin and neck is much reduced and I hope it eventually goes away completely.

I never had cysts on my ovaries so can't comment on that.

I was on metformin prior to surgery and stopped taking it right after.  I also had insulin resistance and by my 6 week appointment it was gone completely.

Now I have read that people are worried about actually losing weight with surgery because PCOS means you are less successful.  I am 7 months post op and have lost 101 pounds or 37% of my total weight or 68% of my excess body weight.

Hope this helps.

Try soulcysters.com It is a wonderful website for PCOS people, They even have a WLS forum.  Good luck!

I get these terrible to, to the point I cannot walk, The only thing that works for me is LIDODERM skin patches, i cut the in half, it numbs them and pulls the abscess out.

I am 4motnhs out and Dec1st was my 3rd period in a roll I never had two periods month to month not even when i got it when I was 13. The first month My period came after 39 days 2nd also 39 and this month 49days  So I was wondering if that means I might be  ovulating .I have done the " O"kits but at times there is no 2nd line and sometimes super red lines but not as dark as the 1st line.
