If you are having AF on a regular cycle, then you might be able to use the fertility monitor/OPKs. The biggest problem with those is when you are irregular. At least that is my understanding.

Good luck!!

No, but the surgeon is in the same office. However I was told my surgeon has strict guidelines then the rest of the surgeon in the office. I want to say thanks again for the help. I have a few questions for you did you have plastic surgery and if so did you wait until a year or so after the weight was off? Is there a required deadline to reach ( insurance require a certain time) before you can have plastic surgery.

I have to tell you that your Endocrinologist is backward.  Your PCOS is not because of your obesity; on the contrary, your obesity is becuase of your PCOS.  Your PCOS probably wasn't "visible" until you began to gain weight steadily and/or quickly.

Not slamming your Dr., just don't want you to be ill-informed or get hurt feelings from his comment.

Keep in mind that typically with the RNY there is normally a small rebound weight gain, so those who've lost too much weight (and I know a few as well) have regained about 10-15lb and look absolutely fabulous at the 4-5 year post op point.  I had a rebound weight gain as well, although not as much.  I was at goal of 140lb at 5'3 and rebounded to around 145.  Some friends I've made over the years who'd lost too much weight have regained about 10-15lbs and look great now.  It does take 3-4 years to really maintain and see where you'll be (following dietary & vitamin guidelines).  Some loose very fast and regain a little, others loose more slowly and taper off to a good weight.  Another thing to look at too is who does their surgery.  Different surgeons have different methods.  Although my friend who lives in another state and I had the same surgery her's was done a bit differently and has had different results & has had lots of complications.  Are these people ones who've had surgery by the surgeon you've chosen?

Exciting!
