I need to lose weight because I can't get pregnant

I need to lose weight because I can't get pregnant. I have been trying to have a baby for more than 7 years but still come up childless. I have been to fertility clinics in my area but they say that they won't even try any methods until I get in the range of just obese. Right now I am considered super morbidly obese.

Since when do you have to be a certain size in order for you to have a baby. I was wondering if I could sue them for refusing me treatment. Is this kind of thing illegal? If it isn't, then it should be. If my insurance company didn't have a problem with my weight, then why do they?

So that's what lead me to this website. Maybe if I have the gastric bypass surgery I will be able to lose enough weight to get pregnant on my own. If not, then at least I would be small enough to get treatment by a fertility specialist. It seems like a tough road to travel in order to have a baby, but I only have so many years left before it will be too late and too risky to get pregnant. Does anyone think this is the way to go?

 Try going to a few more fertility clinics

Before you are forced to have surgery just to get pregnant you should try some other fertility clinics. You may have to drive out of your way, but there has to be someone in Texas willing to take you on as a patient. They are there to make money, right?
