NO Wls is not a cure for PCOS. I do not believe there are enough long term studies to know how to help women who have PCOS and have had wls. One study noted that PCOS did go away. But, how long did they study the person? I was doing great for the first two years, probably cause my body was in such a state of shock after having the bypass.
But now almost 3 yrs, my body is starting to experience "the stuff" all over again. I'm noticing weight gain in my midsection even though I do not go over my daily calorie intake, I do not eat crap, I keep my carbs within limits, I am exercising, doing modified liquid diets trying to get this off my midsection to no avail. I cannot lose more than 3 lbs. Then put back the 3 lbs once I start eating again rather than drinking protein shakes all the time. I am frustrated.
Now come to find out, Mirena may or MAY NOT be a help to PCOS. I do not want to get pregnant... some birth controls are unacceptable for bypass patients... I'm thrown into perimenopause. I'm just as frustrated as ever.
So my warning: WATCH YOUR BODY CAREFULLY. My pharmacist told me that if I do not get this under control now, there is a possibility it will get just like it was before, and I could end up fat again.
