PCOS & WLS

I'm having RYN on 1/2/08 and have been struggling with PCOS (Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome) for many years. I was wondering if anyone who was post-op could let me know how WLS surgery has changed your symptoms. My Dr. believes that the weight loss will make me start ovulating, and regulate my period, but I also have the classic dark "velvety" (I'm Caucasian) skin pigmentation around my neck, at my elbows, and on my inner thighs....I'm hoping the hormonal changes will lighten this or that it will practically disappear. Anyone have any experience?
