My 36M boobs cause me so much pain I can't lift my daughter up

Melissa is desperate to get a reduction

A MUM is desperate for surgery to reduce her 36M breasts which are so heavy she struggles to pick up her baby daughter or get out of bed in the morning.

Melissa Ashcroft, 30, has suffered with extreme back pain since puberty.

It takes her an hour to get out of bed in the morning, and she is unable to lift her eight-month-old daughter.

At the age of 20, Melissa decided to have a breast reduction but said she was told by her GP she should wait until she'd had children and breastfed.

After having her two kids, Melissa was told earlier this year that her BMI (body mass index) of 35 is too high and she needs to be at a BMI of 27 to qualify for surgery on the NHS.
