Help me get rid of the issues from the extra skin.

Hello! My name is Cristal and I am fundraising to assist in paying for skin removal surgery. I lost 200 pounds bringing me from 400 pounds down to 200 pounds. I needed to make a change to prolong my life and be able to make memories with my family. Losing so much it created two Panus or pouches of skin that hang down. I want to get rid of the two pouches of skin on my stomach area. They currently cause so many issues such as rashes, they rub on my skin and make it bleed, they make me feel like I always smell weird. Working out and having the skin causes so much pain and I need to work out to make sure I stay healthy. Sad but true… working out cause pain due to running, sweating, and the skin being in the way. I don’t need anything else removed for skin and I don’t need a tummy tuck for muscles cause I don’t care about having a flat stomach. I just want comfort and less pain and annoyance. My insurance is only paying for one flap to be removed but once that’s gone the other will still cause issues and potentially just take the place of the one removed. I currently work two jobs (around 80 hr) and am in college full time (with loans). I have no time to work more to get the funds..so I decided to try gofund me. My original date was August 9th and I can’t afford it by then so I am hoping to get it by Thanksgiving. Thank you for reading.
