About 2 years ago my gyno told me i had PCOS and put me on metformin. I took the med for like 4-5 months, then she told me to stop. She has since closed her practice and I would like to get everything checked so I can make sure Im ok. I have a history of ovarian cysts and regular periods since WLS. Who would you recommend I see, and how do you know if you will need metformin? I would think that losing 70 pounds has since helped. Thanks in advance.  ~Moni

You could either see another OB/GYN who is fairly PCOS savy or you can see an endocrinologist.  As for if you need metformin or not...that would be up to you & the doc.  They can do a fasting insulin blood test (not be confused with fasting glucose...totally different test) to see if you're still IR or not. Good luck! Kristy

You can also try an reproductive endocrinologist. Sharee
