Help Me Take the Next Step in My Healing Journey – Abdominoplasty Fundraiser

Hi, my name is Linda, and I’m excited (and a little nervous) to share this very personal chapter of my journey with you.

Back in 2009, I underwent weight loss surgery, and it truly changed my life. But like many, my story didn’t stop there. A few years later, I experienced a hormonal shift that triggered a severe lipedema flare. I regained weight, and with it came frustration, pain, and a deep sense of discouragement. For a while, I gave up.

That all changed when I discovered GLP-1 medications. Since December 2024, I’ve been on compounded tirzepatide, and it has been an absolute game changer. To date, I’ve released 47 pounds of inflammation, and I can finally see and feel the changes — not just on the scale, but in how I move and live.

Now, I’m ready for the next step: abdominoplasty (tummy tuck surgery). At almost 63, I want to feel as good on the outside as I’m starting to feel on the inside. The lower belly hang causes daily discomfort — it pulls on my back, creates painful friction, and makes hygiene and exercise more difficult than they need to be. I’m ready to be free from that burden.

I’m currently in the early stages of interviewing surgeons, and this procedure would be truly life-changing. I know it’s a big ask, but your support — whether financial, emotional, or simply sharing this page — would mean the world to me as I take this step toward reclaiming my health, my body, and my confidence.

Thank you so much for reading my story and being part of this transformation.

With deep gratitude,
Linda
