PCOS symptoms after Hysterectomy

I had a total hysterectomy (necessary because of multiple ovarian cysts on both ovaries, cysts on my tubes, uterus, cervix - they took everything) six years ago. Before that time I had all the symptoms of PCOS - no periods, heavy periods, facial hair, alcopecia, sudden unexplained weight gain, etc., etc.

Since my surgery I have gained weight in leaps and bounds, no matter how well I eat or how much I exercise; and it's right around my middle. I am still contending with the facial hair and the hair loss, and I'm at my wits end. The endocrinologist my primary physician sent me too, says that since I had a total hysterectomy there is no way that these problems were caused by PCOS. My primary physician just says I have these problems because I'm over 40 (I was 46 my last birthday)

Is there anything I can do to relieve these problems or am I destined to suffer with them indefinitely? Any light you can shed on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
