A young mother who lost more than half her body weight is appealing for help to get a life-changing operation to remove her excess skin.
Leanne Kendellen, from Balbriggan in Co Dublin, lost 12 stone in two years – but the folds of skin she’s been left with are making her sick and miserable.
The mum of two was 21st 9lb at her heaviest but resolved to turn her life around so she could have active play time with her sons Luke, four, and two-year-old Liam.
