To enable me to have a gastric band now rather than have to wait 8 months. I died the day I had pituitary surgery and this is my last hope.
To beat the crippling pain of Fibromyalgia, Sjogrens Syndrome, hypermobility Syndrome and to also find happiness, I need to be able to exercise
I'm a single full time working mummy to a 6 year old and it's been 10 years since having surgery to remove a haemorrhaging brain tumour on my pituitary gland and stopping the rare disease of Acromegaly! The surgery left me in a coma but more importantly without a fully working metabolism and the hormones in my stomach not working so weight which used to be my obsession working hard to be thin has turned me into an ugly, fat and unconfident person. I said only yesterday to my mum, I died 10 years ago, the civil war I have in my head daily is unbearable and I can't live the rest of my life in physical and mental pain.
I am looking for funding so I can get a gastric band privately asap otherwise I have to wait at least 8 months on the NHS and I don’t think I can keep going for that long. The specialists have told me this could fix everything so it’s my last hope. Please help me and more importantly my daughter, I want to run around with her and her not to be my carer.
