Weight Loss, PCOS and Bariatric Surgery

Weight Loss can positively affect polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a mysterious and often undiagnosed disease of women of childbearing age. Sixty percent of PCOS sufferers gain a substantial amount of weight. Women with PCOS produce too much insulin, or the insulin they produce doesn’t work the way it should. As a result, women with this chronic condition tend to gain weight or have a hard time losing weight. For others, PCOS develops later on, following substantial weight gain. Symptoms of PCOS: • Irregular menstrual cycles • Painful periods • Polycystic ovaries • Acne • Excessive body hair growth PCOS Treatment: If you have been diagnosed with PCOS or another weight-related medical condition and your BMI is over 35, bariatric weight loss surgery can be a faster, more effective, long-term weight loss solution. I have seen several positive outcomes by patients battling this chronic medical condition with no cure after they had the gastric sleeve or the gastric bypass operation. One patient, Carissa, managed to lose 150 pounds in less than a year. Another young woman battling infertility lost over 100 pounds and was able to become pregnant and deliver a healthy baby boy. If you are experiencing two or more of the symptoms noted above, see your doctor and be tested for PCOS, typically performed through ultrasound and bloodwork. With a diagnosis in hand, you can develop a plan to minimize the symptoms, including the unexplained weight gain, and get your health back on track. Wishing you a healthy day, today and every day.
