Need help Removing my FAT Suit
Donation protected
Hello Everyone! My name is Alexandria Sure and I need help. Those last three words are tough to say.
At one time, I weighed 461lbs. Back then, I was afraid to go work meetings, restaurants, movie theaters or even family's or friend's homes in fear that I would not fit into the seat, or worse, that I would fit and the chair would break. One of my most humiliating experiences was when a chair collapsed under me during a work event. Getting into cars was an issue because the seat belt wouldn't fit around me. Life became me sitting on a couch waiting for time to pass.
I finally made the hard decision to have weight loss surgery. The procedure was a massive success. I lost two hundred pounds. I was able to move again. Unfortunately, my insurance refused to pay for this life saving procedure so my family and I used all of our savings to fund the surgery.
I will need at least three skin removal surgeries. The first surgery will be a breast reduction and removal of my abdomen skin. This surgery is first because of extreme pain I've been experiencing due to the strain the excess skin has on my lymph nodes. The surgery has finally been scheduled for November. Again, my insurance company is wavering on covering the procedure.
After paying off the original weight loss surgery along with the additional financial burden of student loans, my savings has been exhausted.
I'm asking for help. I am humbly asking for any amount to help cover the required down payment to have the first surgery and assist with expenses related to my recovery. The hospital is graciously allowing me to make payments again but requires money by October 19th or the surgery will be canceled. This is an urgent request for help.
I am incredible grateful for any help you can provide. Thank you for your time.
