To remove my hanging apron stomach, I will undergo an abdominoplasty procedure in four days. You can see that it hangs down to my knees. This is how it appears when I’m sitting down.
I seem much bigger than I am because of it. Even though it’s excruciatingly painful, humiliating, and shameful, I try to focus on being a weight loss warrior.
“I have put in a lot of effort to save my own life, but in a few days, everything will be gone, and my life will be much better.
I’m writing this down for my benefit and sharing it with you all in the hopes that it will normalise obesity, loose skin, and all the adverse effects of weight loss.
This is what my dangling apron stomach looks like when I’m standing up, she said before putting an end to her statement. You can see that it drapes down.
I’m in such physical and emotional pain, and I can’t wait for the skin to be removed.
