THIS is the world’s most honest online dater - who bravely sends her matches photos of her excess skin after weight loss.

Hannah Hails, 42, topped the scales at 33 stone and struggled to even get up the stairs - but lost an impressive 18 stone.

The determined mum had a gastric balloon and gastric bypass and lost more than half her body weight over 12 months - but was left with rolls of skin that hung to her knees.

She was dealt a further blow when she and her husband of 22 years split up and after two months alone plucked up the courage to try the dating website Tinder.

Now size 16, Hannah found a handsome man from London that she liked and after messaging back and forth for ten days they arranged to meet at a hotel.

In a bid to “prepare him”, she sent him a saucy snap of her in her undies - but was devastated when he cut off all contact.

Brave Hannah, from Pulborough, has vowed not to let his rejection bring her down - but is now fundraising for a skin removal op to give her more confidence.

She said: “Me and my husband had been together for 22 years.

“He was my entire world and I’ve never been with anybody else, so finding myself alone was particularly hard. I downloaded Tinder just to see what it was all about and I was speaking to this one guy. We were constantly sending messages back and forth for a 10-day period.

“I was excited but didn’t want to get ahead of myself as he didn’t know about my saggy skin. Then he mentioned he was keen to book a hotel room so I thought I’d test the water. I sent him a pic of me in my underwear with all my skin on show.

“I just wanted to know how he would react. Then the messages stopped. I heard nothing back from him. I was really done in.

“I’ve realised I’m not going to find someone looking like I do.

“I just want to get my confidence back. I don’t bare my arms not even when I’m around my friends.

“I don’t regret the gastric bypass as I don’t think I would be here today without it but right now I just feel completely unloveable. I just want to get to a point where I have the confidence to be intimate with someone again.” Not in terms of sex but have someone to do the little things with.

“I just feel utterly hopeless at the moment. I just want another chance at finding love and happiness.”

Hannah was a size 22, but after giving birth to daughter Alice in 2012 she suffered symphysis pubis dysfunction - a severe pelvic pain.

It left her housebound and depressed, and she ate her way to 33 stone and was forced to sleep on a make-shift bed in her front room.

“I just didn’t have a quality of life”, she said.

“I couldn’t make it up to the marital bed as it was too much of a struggle making it up the stairs.

“My kids were getting to an age when they wanted to go and play in the park but I would struggle making it to the front door.”

Hannah is hoping to have Abdominoplasty (tummy op), Brachioplasty (arm op), Breast reconstruction and a lower body lift. With treatment unavailable on the NHS Hannah has set up a Gofundme page in to raise £25,000 bid for private treatment.
