Woman rejected for cosmetic surgery to remove excess skin

A woman who was once obese has been rejected for cosmetic surgery to remove excess skin - despite losing over eight stone in 19 months. Donna Comrie tipped the scales at a whopping 20st 9Ibs after gorging on packets of crisps, biscuits and takeaways. The 46-year-old's weight spiralled out of control as a result of a trauma she experienced when she was younger and got even worse when she started to comfort eat. But despite this happening, Donna from Buckhaven, Fife, has managed to shed a remarkable eight and a half stone leaving her at a staggering 12st 2Ibs.
