Paisley Dylan, a 30-year-old from Cwmbran in Wales, spent her 20s feeling self-conscious, living with agonising back pain and intensely painful periods where she couldn't even tie her own shoelaces.
Although she visited two different GPs about concerns she had over the size of her stomach, on both occasions she was told it was nothing to worry about, and she should lose weight.
While Paisley lost three stone in a bid to shrink her stomach it made no difference at all. It had grown to a point where one woman asked her if she was expecting triplets.
