Bethany’s Loose Skin removal fundraiser
Hi, my name is Bethany, I’m 25 from Carlisle, Cumbria.
I have recently lost 10 stone following a mini gastric bypass.
I had a mini gastric bypass after I had spent years struggling to lose weight whilst battling binge eating disorder, after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder I was put on the medication quetiapine which made me gain a further 3 stone, shortly after this my medication was changed.
I spent 2-3 years on a weight management programme to be approved for my bypass. I am now almost 2 years post surgery and have been left with quite a lot of loose skin all over my body, the main areas that effect me are my stomach and arms and massively impact my self confidence/ self esteem and also physical health due to rashes / pain caused by the extra skin.
I am creating this fundraiser after a family member suggested to try this to seek a little help towards the surgery whilst also trying to save myself. I currently work as a mental health crisis worker and can only work 3 days per week due to my own mental health, therefore being able to save solely myself seems impossible.
I know times are tough for everyone right now and I completely understand this, therefore only if you are in the position to do so, a small contribution towards booking my Fdl tummy tuck / arm lift would be extremely appreciated.
thank you for taking the time to read, all my love,
bethany x
