I am new to obesity help. I have been a member for a long time but have not had time to really update anything until I actually went through with my surgery. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 18 after my Freshman year of college my periods were irregular, I gained a ton of weight and I had black chest hair in a little strip between my boobies. My periods were two months apart and were long and crampy. I knew something was up. My Mom took me to my OBGYN and I explained to her about the symptoms she then ran some blood tests and diagnosed me with PCOS. I was immediately put on Birth Control and Metformin XR and they started to help regulate everything. All of a sudden my weight ballooned and I was not able to do anything about lost weight gained weight lost weight gained weight.  All of a sudden I then decided to have VSG and something happened. I had to go off birth control for surgery and I was like ah I am not gonna get a period. All of a sudden this past Tuesday I got a real natural period. I then realized I ovulated.

that's awesome! Been fighting PCOS for about 12 years, maybe longer.... having surgery later this summer, and I can't wait.  Good luck and I hope things keep getting better for you!

This is a late response, but congrats! Same happened to me after my VSG. When I had my first normal and natural period I was like wow! Then I ovulated and was like holy crap... my body is becoming "normal" (LOL)!
