Post weight loss surgery
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Tori. I'm 20 years old and from August 2015 I've lost 10 stone.
I'd always been chubby as a child and that continued into my teenage years, I began withdrawing from my social and school life and became depressed and because of that I comfort ate, I would eat anything I could whenever I had the chance, even if I hated it. I would have breakfast at home, go to breakfast club at school then eat at break times and a meal at lunch time, I'd go to my grandmas for tea and then home for a second tea and I'd snack all night. At the weekends I'd eat anything that was available.
I got bullied for a lot of years, it was hard but rather than diet and prove them wrong I just cried and ate more. It took me till I was 18 and I was at my heaviest weighing 22stone 4lb for me to realise I had to stop. I was miserable, I couldn't find clothes that fit, I couldn't shop with my friends because the shops they'd go to wouldn't stock my sizes. I'd go out drinking with my friends and as I danced people would laugh, or my friends would get all the male attention and I just felt so left out, so out of place. I began dieting and exercising and it was so hard in the beginning but I stuck with it.
On average I have been losing 1 stone per month, and I've done this completely on my own. I've had no surgeries or gastric bands to help just my own willpower. I'm now at 13stone 7lb, my goal is 10stone so I still have weight left to lose, but after my massive weight loss I have been left with awful excess skin around my stomach, thighs and arms being the worst area. Whilst I am proud and overjoyed at the weight I have lost it's hard to feel beautiful when I have all this skin surrounding me.
I require a full body lift, that theNHS won't pay as it's for cosmetic reasons so I need to find another way to fund it, I'm here asking for help as it's a huge amount of money and I just can't afford it.
Having this body lift would mean the world to me, I struggle with confidence issues, I dread going swimming because of my legs, I even struggle to wear certain clothing for work and I can't undress in front of my partner, my anxiety because of the skin is so bad.
All money raised here will go towards my surgery, I am incredibly thankful for any donations I recieve, this surgery would be lifechanging.
Thank you x x x
