Tonya - I also feel that PCOS never goes away. I think the symptoms can lessen, and even disappear some what, but I don't think it just vanishes.

I would definitely look to find another doctor to talk to about things, and if you aren't see a ob/gyn who knows about PCOS.

I am at goal now, and am having regular periods now for the first time in my life, but that's how my body reacted. I still have the hair, though I do believe it is coming in thinner and thinner - but that could also be because I use an epilator.

I'm not sure if you are looking to get pregnant or what, but I've heard many positive things about ovarian drilling, and how it can help restore some balance to our girly parts. I wish I had more info to give you - I guess the best I can say is to find a new doctor, I like olives, but I don't think they are the key to down their care.

Grats on reaching goal!

Also remember that your body does at some point have to re-evaluate itself. You have to make sure that you are still eating correctly, for example mostly protein and little carbs, to keep things balanced. You don't sound like it, but if you went back to your pre-op ways of living all you've done is lower your weight. Not sure if that makes sense or not.

Hugs
Tammy
