Mum's 'painful' complaint as she sheds seven stone after gastric bypass surgery

A mum-of-two has said she suffers with painful excess skin after losing nearly seven stone.

Fiona MacDonald weighed 17st 7lbs after she put on five stone during lockdown. The 30-year-old took out a loan to have a £5,400 gastric bypass operation in Lithuania.

The student nurse flew out to have the surgery in July last year and has since slimmed down to 10st 11lbs. She went from a size 20 to a 10, but has been left with excess skin which rubs together and can create tears.
