Amanda's excess skin removal

Donation protected
My name is Amanda Roberts.
I'm 37 years years old and I lost a little over 220 pounds.
I always struggled with my weight.
I was 100 pounds at 5 years old.
In my late teens to early 20s I tried many different alternatives to lose weight but nothing worked.
I almost went the surgical route to have the gastric bypass and lap band but, the side effects changes my mind.

In 2006 I was determined to do the hard and natural way.
I changed my diet and increased my workouts.
It was a struggle everyday to get through the journey.
I've kept off the weight for two years.
I'm proud of the weight loss any feel so much healthier.
I have gotten to a healthy weight.
My new struggle has been the excess skin that I have post weight loss.
As my weight dropped this skin has become more apparent.

I dont feel comfortable to wear tank tops or shorts because the loose skin is so visible.  I can always tell when people are looking at it and its made me very insecure.  I feel like I'm walking around in a heavy suit made of skin.

I feel that my excess skin holds me back in many ways through life; going to the beach, trying on clothes in changing rooms, wearing light clothes like tank tops or shorts. I like to dress up in cosplay and its very difficultly finding costumes to conceal.
I feel like it even sets me back in my dating life.
Having to be intimate with someone and then realizing all of my lose skin can be very debilitating

I've tried lifting more weights to get more toned to hide the skin. I've even tried creams but, nothing hides the excess skin.

I've been to several doctors and the best solution for my excess skin is to have it surgically removed.

I truly believe that I will feel more complete with is surgical procedure.

I'm asking for your help to fund my surgical procedure to have my excess skin removed.

Thank you for checking out my page.  You have no clue how much this would mean to me.  It would be like a second chance at life and happiness.
