Correct.

It is not that simple

Good point. Lipedema is a chronic connective tissue disease affecting subcutaneous adipose leading to pain and swelling in the affected area.

@@lipedemainfo THANK YOU!

Maintaining ideal weight , staying active and following a low processed low carb diet may help prevent symptoms.he exact cause of Lipedema is not known but there is a clear genetic predisposition

Decongestive therapy, also known as complete decongestive therapy (CDT), is a noninvasive treatment that combines several techniques to help manage the symptoms of lipedema. Lipedema is a chronic condition that usually has some impairment in the lymphatic system, causing swelling that doesn't go away on its own. Decongestive therapy includes the following components: Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): A light skin stretching technique that stimulates the lymphatic systemCompression Therapy: specially fitted medical grade compression garments that support the area to control swelling. Exercises: With compression, special exercises will help to pump lymph out of the swollen area. Including breathing exercises.

She has lipedema in her arms.

The patient did great. She was comfortable throughout the procedure. Her recovery went well . She had the usual post operative symptoms. We understand that tumescent [ Local ] Anesthesia and mild sedative is not for everyone. However it does allow a faster recovery for those that chose tumescent anesthesia for their procedures.

Lipedema and Lymphedema sound very similar and are often confused. We prefer Li-pedema because that pronounciation is easier to distinguish from lymphedema.

Yes, Women with lipedema should be aware progesterone can worsen lipedema. They should execise great caution when using progersterone HRT. We recommend stoping HRR if symptoms worsen.

Not for sure the Estrogen cause the fibrotic area but it is suspicous and worth looking into.

Quercetin is a different chemical that guaifenesin [ the chemical in Mucinex] They have different effects and uses.

@@lipedemainfo" In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, quercetin has been shown to have antiviral and antibacterial effects. This makes it potentially beneficial for combating the infectious agents responsible for sinusitis. Sinusitis can be triggered by viral or bacterial infections, and quercetin’s ability to inhibit the growth and replication of these microorganisms can help reduce the severity and duration of the condition. Furthermore, quercetin helps thin the mucus in the sinuses, promoting better drainage and reducing congestion. When the sinuses are inflamed, the production of mucus increases, leading to a buildup of thick and sticky mucus. This can further block the sinuses and exacerbate the symptoms. Quercetin’s mucolytic properties help break down the mucus, allowing it to flow more easily and relieving the congestion."

We dont have an arbitrary maximum liters. It depends on each patient . A larger patient can safely tolerate a larger suction aspirate than smaller person. 5' 6" and 170 is a close to normal BMI of 27 and would likely safely tolerate a little less than the average of suction aspirate. Our published average aspirate is around 5 liters however the amount varies by location. We refer you to the publication. www.lipedema.net/research-on-improved-mobility-and-quality-of-life.html

You are most welcome. We are not awared of any information about Morpheus8 and lipedema. We dont think it will be helpful.

Yes we think so . Please consult with your physician.

There will always be side effects to any drug you take

I may have had an allergic reaction. I ended up in urgent care with a swollen face after taking it.

Quecertin is the same as Mucinex. "Fruits and vegetables are the primary dietary sources of quercetin, particularly citrus fruits, apples, onions, parsley, sage, tea, and red wine. Olive oil, grapes, dark cherries, and dark berries such as blueberries, blackberries, and bilberries are also high in quercetin and other flavonoids."

@@sarcasticcat4982 active ingredient in Mucinex is Guafenisen

The most common side effect is stomach upset. In most stomach upset went away if the supplement was taken with food.

She is wearing a compression stocking on one leg.

Not likely. Probably need an abdominalplasty.

@@lipedemainfo thank you.

How much is it? I can't get any one to even give me a ball park figure.

@@sarcasticcat4982 I don't know but I have no money so I know I couldn't afford it. Probably about 7K is my guess.

It is a bit complicated . If going through insurance the average cost of a Lipedema Surgery ranges from is around $40,000 but the cost varies by area in the country. . FAIRHealth.org has compiled data based on hundreds of thousands of paid medical claims and the actual and reasonable fees paid for lipedema reduction surgery by medical insurance companies. Going around the country, the total cost of one lipedema surgery ranges from $20,720 in Florida to $65,200 in California, based on fair health data. Missouri, Illinois, and New York are in the middle of the payment range for the total costs of the surgery. Of course when going through insurance insurance companies cover a portion of those charges / fees depending on your deductible, in or out of network fee and coinsurance. The cash price also ranges by area ranging 12,000 to $60,000. Dr Wright offers a cash discount of $8,500 per surgery. Often a single Lipedema Reduction Surgery LRS will make significant improvement in mobility , pain and quality of life.

@@lipedemainfo oh wow! I am in the UK so we don't have insurance and the NHS doesn't cover it. That is a lot more than I thought though!

@@roxannephillips-moore2939 the UK doesn't have insurance?

Glad it was helpful!

The burning can be treated with acid blockers . Stomach upset is the number one side effect from the GLP medications. It is dose dependant and often improves with continued use . Sometimes decreasing the dose and waiting for a while the side effects will lessen or go away.

That's the point of the medication

@@KandyKane0872 Slow down, compadre. Are you saying the point of the medication is to be the new phen-fen? That’s sort of a macabre thing to say seeing how that medication caused so much heart damage it had to be removed from the market. I’m not sure I understand what you are saying.

Do you have lipedema? It isn't about will power or self control. I started taking semaglutide at the introductory dose and didn't change anything else about my diet because i was already eating nutrient dense foods and i was already exercising. I have a lot of chronic pain as a result of the lipedema and lymphedema I have. It took me a year to lose 30 lbs with "Diet and exercise" and without changing said "Diet and exercise" just the addition of semaglutide has substantially helped my chronic pain and has helped me lose an additional 30 lbs in 90 days. Unless you have a medical degree, maybe you should refrain from commenting on things that affect other peoples medical conditions especially considering Dr. Wright *IS* a doctor.

@@LTG-Carol 1.) You are promoting a medical option even though it appears you are not a doctor. That’s the pot calling the kettle black! Physician, heal thyself of your hypocrisy !😆 2.) I feel no compunction to refrain from expressing my opinion. I don’t pretend to be a medical professional. The comments section is a medium for the free exchange of ideas; consider the ones that have value, and ignore the ones that don’t. That’s how it works! 😀👍🏻 3.) I’m glad it is working for you. However, the incidence of the malady you refer to is quite low, and what works for you may not be in the best interests of most people. Finding a’59 Ford radiator is great when you need a radiator for a’59 Ford, but it doesn’t follow that you should give them out as Christmas gifts. You’re the exception; don’t prescribe a treatment for everyone because it worked for you. You’re different than someone with a lard butt who got it by lounging around and eating poorly. 4.) This medicine has side effects. And it’s being promoted in much the same way as fen-phen was in its day, before it killed a number of prescribers and was stricken from the market. Nobody wants to do the hard work, nobody wants to throttle back on stuffing groceries down their necks. But there are results available for a large number of people, with surprisingly few side effects. 🤷

@@tanquerayandchronic5308 Clearly you are not very good at reading. I never once promoted anything or said someone else should do what i did. I stated that doctor wright treats a SPECIFIC disorder. Did you know that? he treats women with this disorder and that is why we are on the page. and not all of us are fat. I also never ever once said other people should do what i did. What i said was that *I* chose to do it. and i did offer a plausible reason why THEY may need it. Zero percent of that was medical advice. Stop gaslighting me (or maybe you just don't understand the way i speak) However - it's obvious that you are simply fat phobic and nobody needs your negativity here or asked you to be here.
