Hi LIz! I know this is a bit late and you've probably figured this out by now, but I had to post just in case. I have been doing alot of study on PCOS & Bariatric surgery lately and what I've noticed on alot of the med sites is that under the 'risks' section, they say that malnutrition is the thing that cause PCOS symptoms to become worse after surgery. They say it's usually due to not adhering to the post operative eating guidlines and not taking the right vitamins and supplements that are supposed to be prescribed by your surgeon. If you haven't had this problem corrected yet, you might want to look into that...............Big hugs!

My stall was at about 3-1/2 weeks and lasted about 3-1/2 weeks.  I've started losing again but it is very slow.  Of course, this is still lower than I've been in forever, so I'm happy about that... I'm dreading seeing my doctor in 2 weeks tho, because I'm sure that I'm going to get told how awful I'm doing.

Good for you for staying positive!  

Any updates?

Hi Jeni! 

Sorry to tell you that once diagnosed with PCOS, you will always have PCOS; it can go dormant and have recurring cycles etc.  

Facial hair, cysts, discoloring of the skin, menstrual disruption, infertility etc are all partnered with PCOS.    With weight loss these things 'usually' go dormant, but stress, birth control, pregnancy, miscarriage, stress etc can all cause it to flare up again.

Like the lady above said, there are skinny PCOSers too, It unfortuantely isn't a cookie cutter diagnosis, there is no one size fits all.

I hope your cyst issue is fixed up (was a month ago) somtimes bcp can help with ovarian cysts, but it sounds like yours has already gone past that point.  

Good luck!  (from a fellow PCOSer!)
