But why wouldn't you? I honestly think it's a fantastic alternative if you're carrying some extra weight—which, let’s be real, is definitely my situation even if it isn't yours—and you just can't seem to get those numbers on the scale to budge. It's not like you're going under the knife; they use local anesthesia, though I will admit, it does cost a small fortune.
I am incredibly motivated to go through with IVF because I'd love to have another little one, but given my current weight, the idea of getting pregnant naturally just isn't on the table right now. Unfortunately, one of the contraindications is long-term corticosteroid use, which is exactly what I'm dealing with. I'm pretty heartbroken because I've already put so much money into this, and now they're telling me it's a no-go.

Trust me, if this actually worked, every overweight person out there would be incredibly thin by now. I was just at my doctor's office yesterday and saw a flyer similar to the one you're talking about, and honestly, I’m convinced it’s just a clever way for them to part you from your cash quickly.
Have you ever looked into gastric balloons? They can be quite effective and aren't invasive at all...
