Rick's Reconstructive Surgery

On April 16, 2015 I made a commitment to live a healthy lifestyle, This meant I had to accept I  had spent a lifetime of abusing my body with over eating and laziness. I decided to do this the old fashioned way, That meant healthy food choices cooked from scratch and lots of gym time. In 2 years I have lost 165 plus pounds. I am completely healthy and actively living one day at a time. Many have been inspired as I share my journey.

The consequences of my lifetime of bad choices and my success in becoming healthy have left me with an estimated 20 to 30 pounds of excess skin and pockets of hard to get to fat cells.

 I can claim to wear these new wrinkles proudly however there are times of great physical discomfort and unexpected health risks with carring this excess around. It cannot be excercised off as there is simply too much skin.

I need reconstructive surgery that will at a minimum consist of 2 lengthy surgeries or 3 large ones. All I am sure will be painful and yes at an expense I could never afford.

So I am turning to you my freinds and family and your extended networks to help me raise this enormous amount of money.

Every dollar will help me.

Giving of myself and resources for others has always been  first in my life and always will be.

Surgery is now booked for October 31st

Asking others for help is difficult and in this case humbling.

Thanks Rick Pane
