Story

My mom and my aunts gained so much weight upon reaching middle-age gaining over 300 pounds each after menopause. They tried everything to lose the weight and to feel normal again after menopause. No matter what they tried, they couldn't lose the weight. My aunt Shirley died from cancer due to being over weight and unhealthy after middle age fighting through menopause. My mom, and my other 3 aunts died a couple years apart of each other due to being over weight and unhealthy. They didn't have the weight management technology that we have today. I worked out and ate healthy since I was 20 years old. After middle age menopause I too gained 289 pounds . My mind, body and well-being was deteriorating. I couldn't work-out anymore because I had gained so much weight. No matter how much I try dieting; nothing worked. I had to do something to help myself. I consulted with my PCP, and she told me about the bariatric weight loss procedure. I had the bariatric weight loss pocedure, and I lost the weight; over half of my body mass. Now I have sagging skin which is another nightmare, thats effecting my health and my overall well-being. I consulted with a plastic surgeon about the skin tightening procedure. I need $58,000 for the body contour. Please help me in my quest to live healthier and happy. Thank you. Sincerely,

Help Sharon Samuel
