PCOS and Weightloss

Ok so I've had PCOS ever since I hit puberty really, Now the symptoms are getting worse as i've gotten bigger :( 
I've read all over websites about weightloss and the pcos symptoms going down but they really can't prove it yet.

They said it can help but really depends on the person.
I was wondering if anyone in here that is post-op and had PCOS has noticed the symptoms reducing?


Thanks,
Anna :)

OK I have PCOS 2 i and a lot of girls here have it is related with obesity we don´t know if we have it `cuz we are obese or we are obese `cuz me have PCOS.
my fixed before surgery and 4 the next 7 month of surgery then i got bad again.  i do have hair lose `cuz my PCOS. is a side effect. so i just wana be cured . and also i believe that the PCOS is gettin in my way to lose the las 20 lbs. lol

That must be annoying :(

I have nearly all of the symptoms and yeah, I used to have really nice and thick hair but now it's getting thinner, I loose so much in the shower.

It's so weird how it makes you loose the hair on your head, and gain hair in other places.

hahahhahahaha i know i always say the hair thing to my momo and she laugh lol.

Anna,

I had PCOS from the getgo as well, pretty much. I probably had somewhere around 10-15 periods ever before I had surgery.... so 10 years having usually only a period a year or so. When I started losing weight, I had one even before surgery, and so far I've had them like clockwork. I'm pretty sure it helps in a lot of cases, it's even a co-morbidity for a lot of insurance companies.

good luck
Ann

Hey girlie,

I also had/have PCOS. I'm not really sure anymore because I never had the cycst on my ovaries but I did have the hair loss, the random hair growth, the irregular periods (I would go months without one and then have one for 6 weeks straight). I took Metformin which was horrible. But 2 weeks before the surgery I was told to stop taking the meds and since the surgery I've had my period like clock work. Also I'm black and I was getting some dork spots on my body, those have begun to lighten up. Now the hair thing is another issue becauseI was so freaked out about losing hair from the surgery I bought these really expensive hair growth pills and have been taking them for almost a month. They work! but they work EVERYWHERE. So I have to shave my legs more often but the hair on my head is safe! I definitely noticed an improvement with my periods almost immediately though and I'm sure its because of my RNY. My doctor has warned me to be careful because you go from being infertile to super fertile pretty quickly.

 I also have had PCOS since puberty. Isn't it fun?!?! J/K I'm having surgery next wednesday (march 18th). It's my last resort!! Can you all please give me tips on how you've ALL done so well? You all look fabulous!!! :0)

Have your symptoms gotten any better? Are you more "regular"?


Thanks girls,
Katie
