A Scottish student nurse who lost an incredible 7st 10lb in just 10 months says she has been left “feeling devastated” by her folds of saggy skin and “vanished” breasts. Fiona Macdonald, 30, who lives in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, with her husband, timber fabricator Andrew Macdonald, 30, and their children, Harris, six, and Marnie, four, took out a loan to pay for her £5,400 gastric bypass surgery in July 2021 after a lifetime of battling with her weight.
While she is delighted with her new slim look – going from a 17st 7lb dress size 20 to a svelte 10st 11lb size 10 – she has seen her bust shrink from a buxom 40D to a wilted 30A. She also has swathes of sagging skin on her stomach that she says rub and smell.
Fiona has now launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise £6,500 to have the excess skin removed. She said: “Having surgery was one of the best things I’ve ever done. It completely changed my life. I can look at myself now and feel proud of who I am.
