Had a hysterectomy, still have ovaries, lots of questions.

I am beginning to wonder if I made a mistake when I kept my ovaries after endometrial cancer was found in 1995. I was never told just exactly what PCOS was, or how it could affect my body. I am insuline resistant, I am obese, have the chin hair, hypertension at 19, (now 28), the hysterectomy due to cancer, skin tags, cyclical depression, etc. etc. etc.

I hate writing all those down, seems like I am gonna die tomorrow. I am very happy with my life, just not with my body. I feel horrible. We have an adopted son who is two and the light of our lives. We kept the ovaries in case we wanted to harvest the eggs. Ok, my questions are...

1. Will removing the ovaries solve the problem?

2. Doc says met is only for those desiring pregnancy??

3. Any good PCOS doc's in KC?

Thank you for all your words of wisdom. I have been a silent reader for some time now.
