I posted a thread which no one has replied! But, I had RNY Oct 2006, almost 3 yrs ago. Last year after having Mirena inserted, I have had weight gain, thrown into Perimenopause, and starting to gain right in the midsection where the INsulin Resistance problems attack.
You are right. Though some wls patients have said they were cured, I have not been. Nor do I believe it is a cure. My symptoms seemed to disappear and even my hair growth on my chin slowed down. HOWEVER, this past year it has sped up and before it spirals out of control, I am getting recommendations by a new gyn and compounding pharmacist regarding BHRT.
I am frankly discouraged at the lack of knowledge that I have found in the weight loss surgery community where PCOS and hormones are concerned. ISN'T THERE ANYBODY out there who is going through menopause, perimenopause, has IR, PCOS? Sigh. I'm tired.
Sometimes I just want to cuss mother nature for what she has done to my body.
At any rate, sorry for the rant. Congratulations on your weight loss. I encourage you to be very mindful of your weight and body changes, even measurements. If you begin to see any changes at all and think PCOS may be hindering you, see your doctor or get 2nd opinions if you must.
