I Have A Big Pannus

Hi my name is Scarlet. A lot of you may know me as ScarleyCat. I was bullied my entire life for being a bigger girl. Some people were completely cruel. I struggled with my weight my ENTIRE LIFE. I never fit in or was considered Normal. A few years ago I suffered great loss. My mom died, I lost my husband,I lost custody of my son , I lost my home. During all this loss and grief I turned to food to comfort me. I gained over 100 pounds in a year grief eating. At almost 400 pounds I knew it was time for a change and I went to get help. I had the gastric sleeve surgery June 23 2020. In that time I dieted , made healthy life changes and started exercising. I lost 230 pounds . I have kept the weight off and stuck with the lifestyle changes. As happy as I should be I am devastated to work this hard and this long and be stuck with all this skin. I feel punished for my hard work and even yet still I cannot feel normal or confident. Instead I am changed from one monster to the next.these changes have caused me severe depression and no self esteem. It hurts me everyday to see my own reflection and causes so much misery. The weight of all my skin is heavy and it hangs . I keep rashes and my skin stays raw from yeast. The skin from my bum and legs is equally heavy and it is causing back pain and sciatic nerve problems. I have to do physical therapy to help with my pack pain. I tried to sell O.F content to help pay for my surgery but I’m not really getting anywhere. I tried to get help from my doctor and my doctor got Medicaid to agree to pay for my surgery due to medical necessity butt no doctor will accept my Medicaid for skin removal even though Medicaid agreed to help no one will take it. I had reached out to UAB hospital via my doctor referral. UAB told me congratulations I would be covered to come for my appointment and if by some chance something went wrong with my insurance not to worry they had a charity department that for sure would help me. I waited for two months , borrowed a vehicle to make it to my appointment since my car has just been wrecked , traveled 2 1/2 hours for my appointment just for them to tell me last second .. their mistake, it was an oversight , I can’t receive my surgery unless I pay out of pocket. I asked about the charity they said I did not qualify for that either. When I asked why they told me I did qualify they said there must have been someone new talking to me. I called my Medicaid to explain everything and I can’t get any help. Just people saying I’m sorry.please help open this door that keeps getting slammed in my face. I didn’t want to ask for help but I’m at a loss. I have nowhere to turn to and I worked so hard for this to just be the end. I want my chance to feel normal just once in my life. The news and media have seen my gofundme and covered my story in hopes I could get help. News ️ can be found by googling Scarlet Corsi. I was also Published in That’s Life Magazine as well as Seen Sex Ed stories. I post updates on my TikTok ScarleyCat86.
