Steph O'Shea, 26, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, was left with a 'revolting' mass of excess skin after dropping 6 stone 10 lbs in 16 months, causing her self-confidence to plummet. Now full-time mother Steph - who is trying to raise £12,000 for private surgery abroad - is speaking out after hearing Loose Women presenter, Lisa Riley, talk about her own skin flaps Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5650395/Full-time-mother-refused-tummy-tuck-NHS.html#ixzz5Da4M45Ej Follow us: @mailonline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook |

and not before time... the NHS is for treating the sick.. and the unwell not .. to clear up the messes people make with their bodies etc whether by diet or false boobs etc etc ... if this woman could loose so much weight then it is obvious there was no medical reason for her to have the weight in the first place

am surprised your not sticking up for one of your favourite type persons kronks .. who expects every one else to foot the bill for her saggy flesh which was left when she dropped some 6stone in weight .. keep on excersising and it will lessen in time
her partner works full time soo they will have to save up like normal people do instead of thinking every thing should be free
""""It was an embarrassing New Year's Eve photo of her, looking massively overweight, that finally shamed her into taking action.
After visiting her GP, Steph was told to simply eat healthily and exercise, so she embarked on a new regime, without any outside help.""
if she could take the weight off by diet and excersise then there was no good reason to have put the weight on in the first place.....in fact very few of the people who ask for NHS help with weight... could easily sort it them selves ...and leave the NHS to do the job its there for... the real sick...

NHS doctor said they are 'there to save lives, not get her beach body ready'
Yet NHS doctors are quite happy to throw over £400 million a year at infertility, a non life threatening condition, when it could be used to save lives...
