Last year, I weighed over 300lbs and was steadily gaining weight. Pregnancy with triplets and a back injury following childbirth caused my weight to balloon from 125 lbs to 298 in less than two years. Diet wasn't working and exercise was out of the question due to my poor back. As a entire slew of obesity related diseases proceeded to destroy my life, it became clear that drastic measures were needed. My doctor advised gastric bypass surgery like Carnie Wilson had. I was afraid but desperate. Unfortunately, since my husband is self-employed, I don't have medical insurance. The operation itself was $15,000 and I would have other expenses afterwards including plastic surgery to remove excess skin as my body shrank. Total cost: $23,000. Even if we cleaned out all our savings, we could only afford about one-third of the costs of the operation itself.

My church held a fundraiser that netted $5,000 and a friend generously offered a couple grand from casino winnings in Las Vegas. However, this still left us about $7,000 short

My husband is a videographer and jokingly said that maybe we could sell a fat fetish porn video to raise the money. It sounds weird, but I loved the idea. For two years, my fat had been a burden and now I could put it to work for me.

It was a low budget production that we shot in a cheap hotel in a nearby town. For 4X lingerie and sex toys we spent about $1,000. My husband and I enjoyed making the film that portrayed both me masturbating alone and kinky sex between us. We then marketed the video through the local sex shops. Within a month, we had enough to pay for the surgery.

Soon, I'll be back at my pre-pregancy weight. Once I have my plastic surgery, I will make a second video to pay for a breast lift, butt lift, and nose job. After that, who knows!
