Default Newbie in DFW - need doc recommendations

Hey all! I'm a newbie who isn't quite diagnosed, but I definitely fit the profile. I'm 27 years old, irregular periods (at this point haven't had one since September), facial hair (though, thankfully, it's mostly light and fine, except for a few strays here and there), acne, weight gain and difficulty losing, and now that my blood test results are back from my physical, I'm in the prediabetes range for fasting glucose.

Anyway, rather than jumping to conclusions (trying not to anyway), I wonder if anyone can recommend an ob-gyn who is good with PCOS patients. I'm not currently TTC, but I would like to someday. I really need to lose weight first though. I'm about 180 lbs overweight at this point. I've tried many many times to lose weight, but I get disgusted with the process because the scale doesn't budge. Seriously, the last time I lost any weight, I was doing an hour and a half of aerobic exercise (Tae Bo and aerobic dance) and eating less than 1000 calories a day. I lost about 60 lbs, but I couldn't keep that schedule up once I got to grad school. So, I gained it all back plus about 40 pounds.

Thanks for listening! I look forward to talking with you all.

I'm also in the plano area and haven't found a good gyn. in this area but Mon I saw an endo. in plano named Evangelina Casteneda and she was the most informative Dr. I've seen regaarding pcos. and she truly seemed concerned. Her phone # is 972-985-1312 if you want to give her a call.
Good luck

Thank you very much! I've been considering asking for a referral... I'm also considering changing my primary doctor, as I'm a bit dissatisfied with him. Any recommendations?
