Mum has 17lb flap of saggy SKIN removed from stomach after shedding half her bodyweight for wedding

WARNING – GRAPHIC IMAGES: Olga Hernandez, 41, has shed half her body weight, slimming down to 13st 7lbs after ditching KFC for home-cooked grub

Surgeon lift a 17lb flap of SKIN they had just cut from the stomach of a super- slimming mum in this gory video.

Olga Hernandez, 41, has shed half her body weight, shrinking to a curvy 13st 7lbs after ditching KFC for home-cooked grub.

A gastric sleeve op – combined with healthy eating and exercise – helped the palliative nurse drop seven dress sizes but left her with a huge flap of unsightly saggy skin.

Mum-of-three Olga underwent a skin removal op to remove a whopping 17lb flap – and asked nurses to record the moment they lifted it away.

Olga, of Tucson, Arizona, US, has shared footage of the shocking moment in a bid to inspire other slimmers.

She is now recovering from other skin-removing surgery and plans marry fiancé Daryl Auclair, 34, in the slinky dress of her dreams, next year.

Proud Olga, who has shrunk from a six XL to medium, said: “I felt like I had been hit by a bus after the surgery but it was worth it.

“I would do it over and over and over again.

“I hated the thought of having wedding pictures of me looking chunky and puffy. I had to buy clothes two sizes bigger so my arms would fit in.

“My skin had become insanity. I had to tuck and roll and hide and I wore compression garments to smooth it out.

“I had a terrible top area of skin above the vagina area and I had to wear long shirts to try and cover it up.

“I became insecure and was constantly critiquing my body. I thought it was disgusting. I didn’t want that for my wedding day.”

“When I first saw the pictures it made me cry. I knew the flap was big but I couldn’t believe it was me.

“It has been completely life-changing. I’m excited for life now.”

Olga piled on the pounds in her late teens after falling pregnant at 17 and later comfort ate to cope with depression and traumatic memories of childhood abuse.

Olga, who has three children – Helana, 23, Eryka, 21 and Khristopher, 20 – now faces up to six months of recovery and is set to tie the knot to Daryl on April 28 2018.

Once the swelling goes down she plans to buy a tight-fitted, A-line sweetheart wedding gown – something she never would have been able to wear before.

Olga added: “When my fiancé first saw me he said ‘wow’. He constantly tells me he looks amazing.

“I never would have been able to reach this point if it wasn’t for the surgery.

“The thought of walking down the aisle in my dream dress makes me cry tears of joy.”

“She looks amazing and I feel like this opens up a new chapter in her life both physically and mentally.

“I am so blessed to have her in my life and can’t wait to finally call her my wife.”
