Unfortunalty Mood swings are one of our symproms. When I did my research I found that Vitamin B is very helpful for us. I now take High doses of Vitamin B

B1- 100mg
B2- 100mg
B12 1000mcg
PM
B6 - 100 mg
B12 - 1000mg
B50Complex
I have also found that ginseng helps for mood and energy. The trick with Ginseng though, it has to have a smell to it before it works.
I don't have to take anti-deppressants anymore, which I actually stopped well before my wls.

Ht. 5'2 HW 234/GW 150/LW 128/CW 132 Size 18/20 to a size 4 in 9 months!
I am Penny, an infertile, never had kids 37 yo female paramedic. We have decided babies just arent in the cards for me and my husband. We are kind of selfish. We love our free welding life.
My PCOS was treated with metaformin 500 mg once a day for 3 years. My husband got " nutured" a year before my RNY surgery.
Since the surgery I have been off my Metaformin. Now I am having those horrible drop to your knees periods again! I thought when I lost some eight those periods would stop too. I was wrong!
My facial hair has dropped significantly since surgery. Anybody else have this happen?
Hello Chrystale
I was still on Glucophage when after my wls (I say Glucophage because my PCOS make me medication sensitive. Metformin DOES NOT work for me) As I started to really lose the weight my blood sugar started to really be effected by it and it was dropping to low. Now that I have reached a normal BMI many of my symptoms have gone, my testosterone was very high as well. A doctor (standing in for my regular gyn) recently told me my PCOS had been cured. Now I don't believe that really, I consider it more in remission. Did you want to go back on it? You may find your symptoms go as well.

Welcome~
I belive as the years come, they get more information on PCOS, alot of doctors are still not very educated about it...but some are very educated about it
I'm so happy everything did turn out great for you and you have 3 children and an angel watching over you all the time!!
As for you question i wish i could help you!! I'm on Metforming as of now, and i don't get my WLS until the 29th of Jan!!
But i will email all of our members for you, and see if any of the Lady's can help you!!!
Take care, have a great night!!
My mum knew that some was abit different with me when I got my first A/F at 9yrs old. I freaked didn't know what the hell was going on. It couldn't be A/F because that happens when your older that's what was going through my head. It would come on and off every few months and get heavier each time. My mum took me to the Dr's and said "she's just an early bloomer. She'll be fine". So on my way I went for yrs putting up with the pain and bleeding everywhere when I had A/F. Not know when it was going to come so being very careful to make sure there was toilets and pads around me at all times.
Fast forward 10yrs and I'm in at my GP with my son . He looked at me and saw my facial hair that I got will being pregnant and the weight I put on that I just couldn't get off for the life of me. He sent me to get some blood tests and it came back the I had 2 and a half times more testosterone than that a female should have at the highest amount, hense my unusual strength.
I left with no information and had to research my self through books ( yes I didn't have acess to any computers back then) at a family planning clinic. I found some info burst into tears with what I read. One of the Dr's there had been watching me and called me in asked me some questions and we had a 90min chat about PCOS.
I have been very very lucky and had 3 healthy children and a
" Hope Ameilah~Rose" . I also haven't got IR which has really surprised me. I do have nearly everything else.My question is was wondering if anyone still stayed on metformin after there WLS ?.
I'm not on it at the moment. I have only been on it to help me fall pregnant.
Best wishes to all
