Chris's Excess Skin Removal

Donation protected
Hi my name is Chris !!! Through  my darkest hour, I can almost see the light.  After years of struggles with weight, I have finally found my salvation, and working on self love, it was a long, and winding road for me, with many detours along the way, I have worked hard to get to where I am today, and overcoming not only my weight, and trying to balance my adhd without medications, (as a medication I was on as a child probably is what caused my adolesent hormone problems, and gynecomastia (Unfortunately my insurance won't cover this). Not only did it effect my anxiety, but it also, had a major effect on my social life for a very long time, over the years I would lose and regain. I had even been to a plastic surgeon in 2002. (Again insurance would not cover it, even though I would get rashes constantly in the summer months.

 After my grandmother's passing in 2009, I was diagonosed with diabetes, shortly after sleep apnea, it took me to the end of 2013, and 4 years of just being so sick something had to give.

  At the end of 2013. I lost the greatest influence in my life my grandfather, and during the end of his life was when I finally started seeing the light, I knew this was what I needed to get my life back on track. by May I had gastric sleeve surgery. By October I was able to join a gym, to help build up some of the muscle tone I had lost due to the fact with bariatric surgery, there would be some muscle loss, I have been working feverish to shed the excess skin with no prevail. Everytime I run into an old friend I have not seen in a  very long time, they tell me how inspiring and how much better I look, I came, I saw, I conquered !!!

  I want to inspire, help, other's who battle obesity, and give them hope,  I have been told by many how inspirational my story is, and, this just touches the surface, I have never been one to ask for anything. This time, I ask, so I can finally shed my skin, and be the best I can be . 

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart ......
