Losing weight is no easy feat: it took Laura Rood several years to get from 315 pounds to her fit and healthy self.
She was binging on unhealthy food, treating it as a way to comfort herself through a tough marriage and the death of her father. Her mother, wanting her daughter to be healthy, made her a promise when she was just 16 years old: if she ever needed anything cosmetic to be done to her body once she lost the weight, she would pay for it.
After getting a gastrectomy in 2015, Laura successfully lost a whopping 130 pounds! But there was one problem: she was left with 11 pounds of excess skin that made her feel like an "alien." She still didn't have the confidence in her body she wanted, and she had a hard time even buying clothes.
So Laura's mother, Joan, kept her promise and shelled out $20,000 for the procedure. Laura now looks like a totally different person!
Laura Rood, 31, said that she's always had a tough time with her weight. Heavy as a teenager, she binged on unhealthy fast food until she ballooned to 315 pounds.
Her mother then made her a promise: if she lost her excess weight, she would pay for whatever cosmetic procedure she'd need afterward.
In 2015, Laura decided to get a gastrectomy. As a result, she was able to lose a total of 130 pounds! However, she still needed to get rid of the 11 pounds of excess skin left on her body.
Laura said that she felt like an "alien" and was deeply unhappy with her body.
So her mother stepped up to the plate and kept her promise from 15 years before.
She paid over $20,000 to help her daughter gain back the confidence she needed. Thanks to her, Laura is now totally transformed!
