In desperate need of financial help to receive plastic surgery/ my 5 year reunion is december...

Hello everyone. On December 14th 1999 I underwent Gastric Bypass surgery, My weigh in the day of my surgery I was 325 lbs exactly. To date my weight varies between 145 and 155lbs. I have lost 180lbs. and have managed to keep my weight for the most part around 145lbs. I am happy and feeling great but I was never able to afford any of the plastic surgeries to remove excess skin. I am still ashamed to show my upper arms and I need help desperately to have excess skin removed from my tummy, buttocks,thighs, knees and also I need desperately need breast augmentation. If anyone knows a plastic surgeon in the Allentown, Easton, Bethlehem or surrounding areas in Pennsylvania please contact me. If a plastic surgeon would be willing to make a payment schedule for payment of the needed surgeries I would be so greatful. I am single and very afraid to meet men and show them my body as is. My self esteem is very low because of this and I am so frustrated. I would like to be able to wear shorts and tank tops and bathing suits but I am unable to because I would be very embarrassed. I feel like I am half a person and desperate to feel normal. Please help if you can. I am afraid to even show a man my body. Send me any information you might be able to share with me about a plastic surgeon willing to negotiate payment arrangements for the surgeries. I do not have medical coverage other than NJ State Medicaid. If you know of any plastic surgeon who accepts NJ medicaid please contact me with the info I would need to make contact with the plastic surgeon. Please help a desperate woman whom would like to have an attractive body and a new lease on a chance at romance. I don't want to live out the rest of my life alone. God bless and thank you so much for any help you can give me. To contact me you can email me at [email protected] or phone me at 908-454-9934 or 908-213-3098. Again god bless you and my you have peace light and love in your life. HUGS...Connie

Hello Connie.  I was just reading your post and wanted to know if you had ever found the help u needed. I am in a similar situation and am also looking for guidance.

Hello everyone, I found this site just searching the web and ran across Connie story, and I,  thought I,  was the only one going through this. I once weighed 464 pounds had weight  Loss surgery in Dec. 2004, the Dr. made me aware of how important is was to follow all the rules in aftercare and prepared me for everything but the excess skin, and the depression that comes behind it . Like Connie said you don't feel comfortable showing my arms and you become very desperate to fell normal that's why you go through the surgery to better yourself and once the weight loss you're back to another task, i have went so far as to trying to donate my skin to a burn unit, Is there help out there I don't care what it is contact me [email protected] or call me at 323-378-7870
