Hi, my name is Courtney, and over the last few years, I’ve completely changed my life — inside and out.

For a long time, I struggled deeply with depression and anxiety. My weight climbed higher and higher while I barely left my bed. Then I became seriously ill with gallbladder problems and spent months being constantly sick and unable to eat. Eventually, things got so bad that I developed pancreatitis from a gallstone stuck in a duct and had to have surgery to remove my gallbladder.

That experience was a massive wake-up call. After recovering, I made a promise to myself — that I’d rebuild my body, my health, and my confidence from the ground up.

Since then, I’ve lost 53kg and completely turned my life around. Fitness became my therapy and my passion, and now I’m training as a bodybuilder, aiming to compete in my first show next year (October).

But after such a large weight loss, I’ve been left with a lot of loose skin around my stomach and no breast tissue at all after once having a large chest. It’s something I deal with daily — it affects my confidence, my posing, and how I feel in my own skin. I want to bring the best version of myself to stage next year, without having to tuck excess skin into my bikini or hide behind it.

I’ve been quoted €7,500 for an FDL 360 tummy tuck, lift, and breast reconstruction in Turkey. This surgery would allow me to finally feel comfortable and confident in the body I’ve fought so hard to build.

I’m not someone who’s ever found it easy to ask for help, but I’m incredibly grateful to anyone who takes the time to read my story, share it, or contribute in any way. Every bit of support means more than you could ever know — it’s another step toward completing my transformation and stepping on stage with pride.

Thank you so much for being part of my journey
