An obese woman who underwent $108,000 of surgery to make her slim has admitted she hates her new body (Details, pics)

Jessica Valoy, 30, weighed a staggering 312lbs (22st 3lbs) and struggled to squeeze into a dress size 22 (US size 26).

After consulting with her doctor for over a year, medics told her to have a $46,650 (£34,400) gastric sleeve fitted.

Despite the surgery initially being a success, Jessica, from Seattle, suffered complications due to acid reflux and then underwent a gastric bypass costing $59,940 (£44,200) in 2016.

Jessica has since lost 120lbs (8st 6lbs), and has dropped nine dress sizes - but she says the folds of saggy skin she has been left with make her miserable. She is now crowdfunding $54,000-$81,000 (£40,000-60,000) for the skin removal surgery.

'I tell my husband I look like a Shar-Pei dog, especially when we are lying in bed of an evening, the skin on my stomach pools around me in layers.

'I have started to sag everywhere, my arms and legs are awful and my stomach hangs lower than my pubic area.

'I have lost all volume in my breasts and I have to tuck the rolls of excess skin into my clothes.

'I feel uncomfortable even in my own house and I believe my body is even uglier now than when I weighed 22 stone.'

Jessica admits that she had always been over weight and from a young age was constantly dieting.
