Please Help With My Skin Removal Journey

Donation protected
My name is Fiona and today I'm asking for help, help to improve my mental well-being and happiness within myself, and to improve my confidence.
My back story.
I have been big for as long as I can remember but on July 8th 2021 I came to the decision that I needed help, help to improve my quality of life and with massive support from my husband, him breaking his back to help me with my journey I flew to Lithuania from the UK and got a gastric bypass surgery, and it has been the bestest decision I have ever made in my life.
Now having lost 89lb I have an emence amount of excess skin, yes I feel healthy and proud of myself and 100% feel better within myself the excess skin is a massive problem. It hurts the pain of it rubbing together and flapping around when I'm trying to exercise or even doing day to day tasking is cause me massive distress. And believe me I have tried so hard to save but having a household and 2 children there is always something that the savings can be spent on. I am also a student nurse and I'm looking forward to giving back to the communit, just as much as the community is coming together and helping me. 
I am asking for just a small helping hand from anyone that could possibly help me and afford to do so. I have never asked for anything and I hope people don't think I'm being cheeky as that is not my intention but I'm struggling and I know that this surgery would be life changing for myself and my family.
I have spoken to a surgeon in Lithuania and in Turkey as there would be no way I could ever afford the surgery in the UK. And the surgeons have recommended, a 360 Fler De Lis witch is an insision round my full body and up and down to pull everything tightly together and remove as much excess skin as possible. The surgeon also recommends a breast uplift as the skin that is left is very low and rubbing on my tummy.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated thank you all so much for the support and if you want to follow my journey my instagram is
