I stopped having my cycle about 6 months ago. But got it back just the other day. Its a combination of hormones plus RNY.......atleast I think it is.

I was the opposite of you I had no period for about 5-6 months now which made me totally happy. But had all the awful symptoms of pcos. The facial hair, cysts, pelvic pain the worst!! I basically self diagnosed myself because my OBGYN was worthless! Told him about my symptoms prescribed me birthcontrol, high blood pressure meds and off he went. He didn't care basically is the impression he gave me. Well I took matters into my own hands because I have been having abnormal paps and had a leep procedure done and he kept wanting me to come back every 3 months for pap. Cancer runs in my family and now I have mild dysplasia which can turn into cancer and he just wants me to come back every 3 months. How stupid does he honestly think I am! Well I kept pushing and pushing and he still wouldn't budge so I went to another OBGYN and now I will be having a hysterectomy in Dec. I know it maybe a very drastic measure but feel this is the best thing for me. It will aliviate some of the more painful issues that I've been dealing with and also it will prevent others. I know it won't cure all pcos symptoms but its sure going to be nice to not have all of them! 

Thanks Tana for reassuring me on that I am doing the right thing. I did get a second opinion and went for ultra sound and have huge cyst on left ovary, have a very enlarged uterus and also have fibroids that are developing. So I've been scheduled for surgery already and that will be in Dec. I wish I could have it done already but had to work it around work so the only available day they had was Dec 2nd. Not too far away but it still seems like a long time. Thanks again. I really needed to know that I won't regret this.

I would say it is probably the diet in which you are on. Surgery will help with rapid weight loss, however, it doesn't heal the body in regards to what you are putting in it. The body can heal itself, given the right foods are entering it.

So, if you are still partaking in a lot of the processed foods you are receiving empty calories and thus leaving your food without any nutritional value. This could easily result in PCOS symptoms once again.
