I know a very young woman who had to loose weight before she could have an operation to remove her womb - hysterectomy.

It was doubly hard as she wanted to have children, but couldn't and she was in a lot of physical pain from her condition.

I remember being amazed that she had to lose weight before they would consider doing the op.
