Excess skin removal after 170lb weight loss

Donation protected
Hi! My name is Kaitlin and I am raising money to pay for excess skin removal after losing a significant amount of weight. My journey began in 2017 when I started the process with insurance to have bariatric surgery to get my spiraling weight under control. I jumped through all sorts of hoops - several weigh-ins to show my commitment, dietitian appointments, sleep studies, psych evaluations, and endoscopies to check for hernias. I was finally able to meet all the criteria and have my surgery in June 2020, amid the beginning of the covid crisis.
Over the past three years, following my vertical sleeve gastrectomy surgery, I have been able to lose 170 pounds and maintain that weight loss. Unfortunately, the journey has left me with a lot of excess skin that insurance will not cover to have removed. I will need a total body lift which will include the upper arms, ribs, abdomen, and thighs. These aren't procedures covered by insurance so I must pay out of pocket for them. I have been working second jobs and saving every penny possible to reach my goal. I would greatly appreciate any support for this next life-changing chapter! Thank you!
