She hopes that the surgery will enable to do all the things she’s dreamed of
Steff Kent is raising funds to remove the excess skin that remains after her dramatic weight loss The brewery worker has now been left with 15lb of painful excess skin after her dramatic weight loss, and is raising money to remove it through surgery.After getting gastric band surgery and following a healthy diet, Steff lost a huge amount of weight – but has been left feeling insecure and uncomfortable with her body thanks to sagging excess skin on her stomach, arms, and legs.
‘I have always been overweight. When I was 2-years-old I weighed 2 stone, at 10-years-old I weighed 10 stone.Steff decided to have a gastric bypass in December 2018, after years of an active and healthy lifestyle made little difference to her weight.She had run several marathons in the years before, went to the gym several times a week, and worked a job that involved being on her feet all day.
The excess skin she has been left with doesn’t just make her feel self-conscious, but causes pain and discomfort, too. ‘Under my stomach and the top of my legs get sore and wobble with every step,’ Steff explains. ‘I get a rash on the skin on my arms.‘At night I wake up due to pain in my neck and shoulders which means I constantly have zero energy.
‘I don’t like wearing short sleeves as my arms literally flap. You can also hear my legs clapping together as I walk which is embarrassing.’Advertisement
