Thanks. I am pretty short anywho. I live in high heels. With my shoes off I am most likely 5'3 and 200. which would put me juuuuuust under 35, i think.

Ankle wieghts might work or just fudge the height check. You can just slink down a little and lower your height an inch or so. That should get you where you need to be.

I too have PCOS. I had to go on Metformin to get pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago. In June, before my surgery, my TSH level showed that my thyroid was not working well. I weighed 214 and had no energy! My number was 12.1 and supposed to be between 0 and 1. He put me on levothyroxin, 75 mcg and it brought my level to 4.7. He upped the meds to 88 mcg and my level went to 0.4. I had my surgery in July and have lost 34 pounds, now at 180. When my blood test came back last week for a check up, my TSH levels were too low!! He had to decrease my meds and thinks with another 20 pounds, I could go off them entirely! Being overweight is so damaging to the hormone levels in a woman. Maybe with the surgery, your hormone levels could go back to normal and you not need a hysterectomy.

BTW, I was right at 34.8 as a BMI and my insurance didn't want to cover the surgery. I paid the 12,000 and three weeks later had my band. I can always make more money, but I can't get back time wasted feeling bad about myself. I am glad I took the plunge! Good luck to you and I hope it all works out.

My Dr (pcp) is putting me through the ringer with testing righ

t now, blood tests for hormone levels, ultrasound of pelvis, because I have had my period for 1.5 months. Hell. Waiting on blood tests, but the ultrasound came out normal, which is good. She was originally thinking pcos, but I don't know if that would show on ultrasound. The guy that did the ultrasound said everything looks normal, and thatvits probably hormones . I think my body is just begging me to lose some weight!

anything in that belly area should be checked by a gastro and gyno. I would not leave that up to a PCP. Just my opinion. I let too many things go, for to long and then once I found the right specialists I was a jumbled mess. My endo had my organs basically fuzed together and then fuzed to my abdomenal wall. it was an 8 hour surgery, which would never had been done if I listened to my old gyno which dod not specialize in endo. Bottom line I could have avoided A L O T of trama.
