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 64 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've picked a surgeon and am scheduled to have surgery in January 2026.

This procedure will be truly life-changing. 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
