Jen's post-140 lb loss body-lift

As many of you know, I have worked very hard through diet and exercise over the last couple years to lose 140 lbs (still working for a few more). The love, support, and encouragement you've shown me has been super appreciated! It is now time to have the excess, saggy skin removed (no amount of additional weight loss or weight training will make it go back on it's own). I have scheduled my first surgery for Oct. 12, 2015 (2 months from now - yikes!) I'm super excited and totally terrified, but it will be so worth it in the end!!! I will need at least two surgeries to fix all that needs fixing. My health insurance will not cover any of this as they consider it to be purely cosmetic even though it is a great problem for me. It is VERY expensive. I am a self-employed musician. I get by ok most of the time, but if I don't work I don't get paid - I'll not be able to work for at least a week or two while I heal. I have been setting aside money for this surgery for a long time but it's not enough to fully cover it.

I have a kinda crazy thought...

I have over 500 FB friends. If most of you were willing and able to donate just $10 or $20 to my cause it would go a really long way towards helping me complete this journey.   Any amount will be helpful and super appreciated.

Figure I had to at least ask :-)

Thanks - I love you all!!
