Surgery needed for better life

Donation protected

She only has me. Her daddy passed away, and after years of abuse by those that think I'm big because I eat too much, I've been diagnosed with Lipoedema. A condition which results in disproportionately large legs, and unfortunately my upper arms are now affected as I've reached stage 3. This means I cannot walk far and my clothes do not fit and hurt me. I have congenital hip displacia too and the extra weight is causing my hip to degenerate rapidly.    I want and need to be more active for this darling little girl, and, after several trips to one of the only few Lipoedema specialists in the UK, I have been told that laser liposuction, a special kind due to the tissue type caused by this illness, is my only option to get rid of this nasty illness. It is not available on the NHS. It is not a vanity thing. I used to be very fit and healthy. Now I barely fit in chairs and my daughter is very active and needs me to be too. The weight of my legs is unbearable and I want to be a new, fitter mum for 2017.
