I am stressed out today after I got on the scale and saw a 8 lb gain. I am so upset. I know I have a swollen belly but didnt' expect this much of a weight gain. I haven't been eating much either. So what the heck. I was down to 184 lbs and now I am up to 192 I don't want to ever see 200 again. I woke up at 530 in so much pain had to take a percocet 7.5 and taking them every 4 hours due to the pain I am in. I can't take nsaids but surgeon did prescribe celebrex but it is not covered trying to get a prior authroization he only gave me a weeks worth knowing that it won't be covered and it would cost me like $42 for 7 pills that is alot. So hoping to hear from the pharmacy today to help with the inflamation but otherwise I will be suffering with this. Just keep taking my pain meds. But I am totally freak out with this weight gain and not able to exercise let alone drive. I need to get groceries and can t' even get there. I like to pick out my own fresh fruit and veges. I got milk and bread that isn't a problem but need my fresh fruit and veges. Plus this runny nose is driving me crazy and hubby sick with it too. I went back to bed until 10 this morning woke up hubby to get kids ready for school. Finally got to take a shower that felt refreshing. You would think the lasix would help with all this water weight ugh. why me~

I take metformin 1000mg a day and haven't noticed any weight loss due to the pill but I do notice it in inches. I went from wearing a size 16/18 to wearing a size 6/7. I did have RNY but I have only lost about 52 lbs. and it was my yr anniversary on the 27th of January. I am 4'11" and weighed 201 lbs and wore a size 16/18. Now I weigh 147 and wear a size 6/7. So it may not completely help you lose weight but it does help you lose inches. Well atleast it seems like it.....

I lost over 50 pounds after surgery and my facial hair seemed to get thicker.  I tried electrolysis but it left little dark spots on my upper lip for 3 months.  I finally went to a dermatologist and learned about the newer colorblind lasers that are safe for dark skin.  After 6 treatments, my facial hair is virtually gone.  It has changed my life.  Dr. Maryann Mikhail at Spring Street Dermatology did my treatments - www.springstderm.com.  She gives a discount for people with PCOS.  Now all I need is a good plastic surgeon for excess skin under my arms - can anyone recommend somebody in the New York area that won't break the bank?  I am slightly nervous about having surgery again...

Hi ladies!  I haven't had WLS yet (awaiing insurance approval), but my surgeon told me the best option was RNY  and said that with my age and how long I've had my diabetes and PCOS that I have a 90-95% chance of complete remission of both disorders.  Wouldn't that be wonderful!!!

I have been diagnosed with PCOS going on 8 years now and Gluten free and Sugar free are the best for Pcos. Carbs and Sugars really help wack your insulin out if you eat it alot.  Also you have to be careful with fruits and veggies as well like a small apple is enough sugar for the whole day and carrots have tons of sugar in them although they are good sugars they tend to mess with your pcos. Simply  eating just like a diabetic is key.  you should just go in to your regular Docs and have your glucose, hormones, thyroid all that checked out and tell them bout how you think you have pcos and they can refer you to a specialist, nutritionist
