just the facts ma'am....

who: 26 year old mother of a three year old little girl. Husband and I would like another child. Life long struggle with weight. Summer of 2007 went down to 210 lbs. Spring 2009 saw high of 275 lbs. Much of recent weight came as a result of feeling pressure to lose weight quickly in effort to get pregnant.

pregnancy stats: two pregnancies. one miscarriage at 15 weeks. one birth. diagnosed with PCOS in 2004. pregnant with daughter following cycle of Clomid and IUI in summer 2005.

In late April I finally decided that I no longer cared if the weight came off before the next pregnancy. I am so totally ready for another baby that I can barely think. The desire to lose the weight first was born out of both health and vanity reasons but neither of those no longer really mattered to me so I called my OB and went on in to find out our options.

However, the appointment did not exactly go as expected......
