Woman reveals: “I’ve lost 17st – but I still hate my body”

Kim Newbold once tipped the scales at 31st and wore men’s size XXL trousers but a gastric op on the NHS helped her lose a staggering 17st in just 18 months.

However, instead of flaunting her new size 16 body, Kim still covers up in baggy clothes because she’s been left with so much saggy skin.

Kim, 33, says the excess skin – which weighs 2st - is making her miserable, but she can’t afford the £27,000 op to have it removed.

Kim, an account manager from Swindon, says: “I’m devastated. I’m so proud of how much weight I’ve lost, but I hate my saggy skin, it's hideous.

"I HAD A £30K BODYLIFT TO GET RID OF MY ET SKIN"

“It’s everywhere, all over my tummy, my boobs, my back, my arms and my legs.

“I’d have to pay £27k for a private full body tuck as the NHS say it’s a cosmetic procedure and won’t pay for it. I thought losing weight would make me happy – I'm still glad I did it but my body looks worse.”
