Emma Lovell, 35, from Townsville, Queensland, shed an incredible 21
stone through gastric band surgery - but has been left with huge rolls
of excess skin. And now 13 stone, she claims her confidence is lower
than it has ever been. 'I have between 20kg and 40kg of excess skin and
it makes me so self-conscious,' she said. 'I've trapped it in car doors
before which is very painful, and can't even go for a run because it
moves and pulls so much. Even though I'm technically a size 12/14, I'm
wearing size 20 trousers just so my skin isn't hanging out.' Despite
being 34 stone at her heaviest, Miss Lovell claims she ate a balanced
diet, rarely gorged on junk or takeaways and got regular exercise by
riding her bike. She was eventually diagnosed with an intolerance to
carbohydrates - and firmly believes this was the cause of her extreme
weight gain.
