The only thing that will guarantee that your periods would stop is to have a complete hysterectomy.   I had a hysterectomy a few years ago but had them leave my ovaries and cervix.  Because of leaving the cervix, there is a very, very small possibility for bleeding since they can't remove all the uterine tissue from it.  However, leaving the cervix does help things in the bedroom.  My ovaries get cysts constantly and so far other than some mild pain I haven't had any problems.  They will have to take them at some point, but since I was only 35 and didn't want to be on hormone replacement they left them in.   I was also told that they may quit functioning on their own since their blood supply would be cut in half with the uterus gone.  I haven't had any bleeding since my surgery.  YAY!

It is a VERY good thing to go discuss your options with the doctor.  At the time of my surgery, I was using the county hospital because my husband was self-employed and had no insurance.  I was amazed that I was still able to tell them, this is how I want it to go down.  I figured I would be at their mercy.  You are the consumer and hysterectomy is still considered an elective surgery.  So, weigh all your options, consider all your issues and do tons of research!  Just like when you decided to have WLS.  :)

Good luck with it.  I know it isn't an easy decision to make, but it was the best decision I ever made.  I got my life back and didn't have to spend any more time in the hospital having transfusions and iron IVs!

PCOS was the cause of my pre-diabetes, so I would think yes.

I had alot more issues after my surgery. Everything came very suddenly and strong! Except my problem wasn't with my period not stopping. 3 months after I just stopped having a period! It got worse and worse so switched obgyns asked for hysterectomy and had it done last month. But my situation was different I was already having abnormal paps, dysplasyia and other issues. I have 3 kids, I'm 32 and already had a tubal ligation so I had the procedure done more as a preventative method. But its the best thing I've done since my gbypass. I feel better and somewhat back to the person I was before pcos.

 I had rny bypass  dec 2nd and have been doing well. Prior to that I had been diagnosed with Mild PCOS. So, no periods, been on birth control forever and a day anyhow, now that i am post op i have switched to Depo shots and all of a sudden  my body has decided to have a period about a month after i get the shot, almost to the day.  This has happened my last 2 shots. More recently, i have been spotting for most of january. is this just my body regulating to losing so much weight? I am definitely not pregnant, so that is not an option. Anyone else had random stuff like this happen?

why not go with a partial one instead of the full. At least then you won't worry about the weight gain from hormones you would have to take if you have a full one. I am also waiting to have a partial or the endo amblation thingy. I rather just take it out and not have to deal with periods anymore. I had my kids and I am 45. I will find out on MOnday what the ob/gy decide on.
