I was 34+ stone . I am getting down to 14 stone i will have 2-3 stone of excess skin i need this removed in order to try have a normal life
Hi there
my name is David i used to be over 34 stone. I was loosing alot of weight and noticed i had a lot of excess skin. I went to the GP and was told that when i get to 14 st or as close as i could they would refer me for surgery to have my excess skin removed that was cause by my stomach being streached for so long.
This is what i did. I lose OVER 20 stone to get down to 14 st 7 and i was referred and then knocked back for surgery as they said it was for looks only. I was gutted. I got a bit down and with a few other events i kinda gave up and put some weight back on.
Now i have decided to go for it again and get right back down to 14 stone and get the surgery. Not through the NHS but to pay for it myself.
I am going to try raise as much as i can to pay for it but what ever i do not get i will pay for it myself. This means so much to me. I want to be normal and be able to let people touch me again without being scared of them feeling my excess skin . Be able to wear the clothes i like again . To live a normal life.
