Let's Help London! Weight Loss Journey 2.0

Donation protected

Hello everyone! My name is Kelly Kelly and I am making this fundraiser for someone that I consider one of my best friends and very much family. Since the day I met her, she has done nothing but ooze such love and positivity towards me and anyone else she meets. Whether you've had some fun nights at the UC, been given one of her 20 shots, or some late mornings at an afterparty, if London is around, you're always gonna have a good time. For years, while providing us all with so much happiness, London secretly fought a battle with her weight, and decided it was time for her to make a change. She has since not only conquered her goals, but any expectations placed on her by people who care about her very dearly. In a matter of two years, we have seen this wonderful gorgeous sister of ours, bloom into a truly happy, healthy, and even MORE confident human being. I am asking the community to please lend a helping hand to London as she finishes the second leg of her Britney:Weight Loss Tour! In all seriousness, this is a truly wonderful person, a kind soul, and everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin! I am so grateful for any and all donations made as ALL proceeds will go directly to London. This GoFundMe was made with London's approval, now, a word from London.

From London:


If you have known me for any length of time you know I have been working hard to transform my life and becoming healthy was a necessity.

With 200+ pounds of weight-loss comes A LOT of excess skin, especially in my midsection where I held most of my weight.

My whole life I have been overweight and when I see my loose skin it not only is a positive reminder of my hard work, but it is a negative reminder of what I did to my body for so long.

I am a firm believer in loving yourself and your body no matter what your size is. Just be healthy and at my highest weight I was not leading a healthy lifestyle. I had to make a permanent lifestyle change so I had bariatric surgery in 2019. The surgery, my changes to diet, and daily workouts has gotten me to my fitness goals.

My excess skin is not something that can be remedied by a $3,000 tummy tuck special. I need an aggressive surgery because I have skin laxity vertically and horizontally. This is a huge surgery and I’m scared, but excited to move on to my next stages of life. I am not seeking perfection because this surgery leaves large noticeable scars, but I can deal with scars. I can’t deal with huge amounts of flabby skin that slaps around when I exercise or even just move around.

My tummy tuck is $19,000. I went to this doctor the end of 2020 and the price was $16k, but I wanted to check out other doctors just for comparison. The other doctors were not as confident or excited to help. Plus their prices were $29-$36k (wow-I know). I went back to Doctor Brown and his price went up to $21k since 2020 due to increases in the surgery center fees and other stuff. I was devastated because it meant more money even after I had saved so much. After several consultations Doctor Brown is who I consider the best and the most affordable of those doctors.

I thought going into this the money I have saved would cover my surgery, but it’s just not and after a lot of self reflection I am asking for help reaching my goal.

Just know if you can help I will forever be grateful.

Sending love and positivity.
