<div>Hi my name is Wayne and I am fundraising to help me with having skin removal after losing over 24st in weight..

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I have always been overweight and was bullied very very badly as a kid for it which tbh fuelled my eating problems.. I am now 41 and have worked so hard to get to this point… 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I weighed 226.8kg (35st 7lb) and was on the nhs waiting list for nearly 4 years but luckily on the 8th of June 2022 I finally had a gastric sleeve thanks to the queen Elizabeth hospital in Portsmouth…

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>my current weight is now 71.8kg (11st 3lb) as of the 25th May 2024…

</div>

<div>it’s been one hell of a ride with so much hard work but now I have this massive problem of excess skin.

</div>

<div>I was promised before I had my sleeve done that they would fund and remove the skin for me when we got to that point and now I am there they won’t fund it.. 

</div>

<div>this has destroyed me in so many ways. I am more insecure about how I look now than I ever was when I was bigger. I can not look at myself in the mirror with no clothes on, I won’t let others look at me so doing this and putting myself out there for everyone to see is unreal and so damn hard as you can imagine but that’s how much I am willing to do to try and get the help I need.. as you can see in the picture I do have a lot of skin in a lot of places and I know it’s going to cost so so much but I need to try and do something because I can not live the rest of my life looking the way I do..

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I know I got myself in to this mess by putting the weight on in the first place but tbh it’s not that simple at all.. there was so many more factors than just over eating.. there was emotional eating, it’s an addiction, depression, feeling hungry 24/7, environmental factors, being around feeders, it was a mess, I was a mess and I hold my hands up to that fact… I know people will judge me and tbh I do understand that and I do understand that they will see it all as my own fault so why should I get help or ask for help. All I can say to that is I am human and I just want to be normal for once in my life… 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am aiming to raise £5000 to have both my arms and breast area sorted so please please help me try to achieve this…

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>thank you all so much for taking the time to read my story and journey 

</div>
