How does gastric bypass help with pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss: Gastric bypass is thought to help through caloric restriction and weight loss. It is thought that one of the problems with pcos is through Insulin insensitivity, which can be improved with losing adipose tissue (fat) specifically around your visceral organs (inside your abdomen).
