Help Transform Life After Cushing’s and Graves’

I was just in my mid-twenties when I was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, then later Graves’ disease. I battled with my weight for a long time, but after my 5 surgeries in which they removed my adrenal glands, my weight drastically dropped. On top of that, I experienced depression and felt ugly. I’m now ashamed of my body and loose skin. No workout or weights can tone my legs or stomach. I won’t wear certain clothes like skirts or shorts. Nothing fitted because I’m ashamed of my body. I’ve never asked for help and have been quite independent. After being denied as a candidate for surgery with insurance, I’m now seeking help from my community. I can’t quite afford a skin removal surgery. I just want to do this for myself and no one else. I know me, and I’ll benefit from this surgery in many ways, physically and emotionally.
