I also took both of those meds before and after surgery for a short bit.  And then was told my labs showed I did not need them anymore and I'm not on them now.
I did not think Synthroid was for PCOS though.  My understanding was that it was for hypothyroid.  Either way, both of these conditions have gotten better for me post-op.  Thyroid seems to be doing A-OK on its own now and PCOS is better but not perfect.  Just that the Glucophage wasn't helping it anyway after surgery and I hate the side effects!
Best of luck!

I'm another Cyster....I have very irregular cycles, almost feel like I am in menopause!!  I'm infertile, and have packed on the pounds rather quickly over the past 5-10 years.  I can loose when I am on a high protein diet (I stall like everyone else does and that was/is always hard to get through).  I am hoping the band will do the trick.  I have always been a carb addict, so I am pretty sure I have always had PCOS...wasn't diagnosed until DH and I were trying to conceive (7 years ago). 

We can do it, it just might take us a little longer, or not, I hope.....

I would say as I was losing the weight right before surgery I had noticed getting my cycle regular. Of course after surgery they want you to be on some kind of form of birth control. I hated that part knowing I couldn't get pregnant one way or the other. I am hoping that I am actually ovulating. As I am now 2 years post op and want my 1st and probably only child.

Hi, My name is Joy. I am 26 from Alabama. I am married with 3  children and I have SLE and PCOS. My lupus effects my joints and I have organ involvement. I also battle severe fatigue. I am also obese and need to lose at least 75lbs. This is difficult with severe pain from lupus and the added hurdle of trying to lose weight with pcos. Any helpful suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks,
Joy

I too have found this board a bit dissapointing but I hope that if we keep sticking around maybe eventually it will pick up...Ive been reading soulcysters off and on for years, its a great site, and yes more helpful in some ways
