<div>Hi! 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m Lacey! I’m 28 and originally from the south of the UK and I’m living with the debilitating weight of JJ breasts! 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and PCOS while in my 2nd year of university and promptly was given a laparoscopy to remove one of my ligaments of my womb and to remove the diseased tissue that had fused my organs to my spine! It was long and arduous and complicated. The 1.5hr surgery ended up being 4.5hrs.

</div>

<div>I was very active in those days performing constantly as a singer and doing a course that required about 30hrs a week of dance, acting, and singing! I was in a UK size 10-12 depending on the length of garments as I am 5ft 11 and had size EE breasts.

</div>

<div>I missed a lot of university after the surgery and gained a lot of weight.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After the surgery I deteriorated and we found out there had been extreme complications. I had to have a second surgery, making me miss even more university and lowering my mobility even more.  At this point I was in a size 16 and had G cup breasts. I had an Injury in my hip in ballet class and stopped dancing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My health and conditions got worse. I had to change my university course. Covid hit. I failed my third year and had to retake. I moved home to redo my final year. I was unwell and suicidal. Lost 2 jobs. Was diagnosed as autistic and signed off of work as my conditions had me in and out of hospital almost fortnightly. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I gained an insane amount of weight in my depression. I gave up performing, singing, cosplaying, modelling. My spark was gone. Everyone who knew me saw it and people tried to preserve what I had left but I became incredibly agoraphobic especially after the murder of my younger brother Levi. I couldn’t even go out for a walk anymore. I was afraid and exhausted with life. Nowhere was safe anymore not even my own body or mind.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I was up to a size 22, 136kg and a JJ cup. 

</div>

<div>and the issues got worse. I had always had back pain due to my Endo and having larger breasts, but it had become insane. Absolutely maddening. My posture is worse, I curl up on myself to ease the pain in my lower back. 

</div>

<div>I am constantly either suffering from the heat or cold, as in the heat my breasts get rashes which blister and bleed and burn. In the cold my breasts struggle to maintain circulation and turn purple and black and freezing, putting me in agony. 

</div>

<div>Wearing bras gives me blisters on my shoulder from the sheer weight and the size of the underwire required sticks into my underarms and causes pain and uncomfortability.

</div>

<div>I’ve moved away from underwire bras and instead buy medical grade 1 bras which are insanely expensive at €99 a bra but are necessary to prevent pain and hold my breasts up so they don’t sag, however it still isn’t enough and I often wear a regular sports bra on top of the medical bra which still does not alleviate my pain. However the compression causes pain and bruising in my ribs.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve been to the NHS many times and have just been told over and over to lose weight. I was also informed the waitlist was 2 years. It’s been almost 3.
</div>

<div>so many friends have told me over the years to set up a gofundme to go private so I am finally choosing to. 

</div>

<div>I want to marry my wonderful partner one day but don’t want to hate every image of me and feel ashamed. I want to wear a beautiful dress that I choose for the love of it, not because it hides my breasts. 

</div>

<div>I want to have kids one day but have heard horror stories of women with breasts my size suffocating their babies when they breast feed. 

</div>

<div>I want to run again without humiliation and pain. I want to exercise freely in any sport I want. I want to feel comfortable in my body and not be objectified for the size of my breasts. I don’t want to be a joke. 

</div>

<div>I want to comfortable and happy and normal.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But I can’t do it alone. I’m living off of PIP because my conditions make me unable to work and I’d never be able to afford this surgery alone. So any and all help that could be offered would be so appreciated. 

</div>

<div>It would quite literally change my life.

</div>

<div>A private breast reduction can cost up to £12,000 after all fees, consultation, procedures, recovery, and medication.

</div>

<div>that is a ridiculous amount of money and I know money is so tight for so many these days. 

</div>

<div>But I appreciate any and all contributions with my whole heart.

</div>

<div>Even sharing this page is incredibly appreciated 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for reading my story and thank you if you are able to contribute 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Lacey x 

</div>
