Woman too fat for IVF loses weight and has baby

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Celebs & Entertainment

In Britain, there's concern over whether obese women with a certain BMI should be permitted to have In Vitro fertilization treatments covered under the National Health Service. When we told you about this last year, the subject sparked a lot of controversy.


But it's also sparked some positive changes -- especially for one woman. According to this article, 40-year-old Jane Crook was refused IVF treatment in 2006 because she was overweight at 378 lbs. But a short two years later, she was down 126 lbs. However, by then she didn't need IVF -- she conceived naturally. She lost the weight with help from gastric bypass surgery.

She lost the weight and had a baby -- a happy ending on all accounts, don't you think?
