You will lose good fat with keto. Dont forget surgery is wwhen you dont have a way anymore. And doctors are of course very helpful but most of them are SELLERSS.

I don’t see that big of a difference. I wonder why? I have seen many on here and seen drastic improvement. I barely can tell. I’m sure the person appreciates any change for the better. Although, it seems there could have been more taken out. Is it because she was awake? Could you have gotten more?

I have EDS and Fibromyalgia and I found your presentation really fascinating! There’s still so much about the body which medical science is piecing together

Great presentation. My mom had stage 3 (thigh/arm) and I do too. The thing is, she never knew! She was in and out of doctors her whole adult life trying to understand what was wrong, and her only diagnosis was, you called it, Fibromyalgia. Can't wait to come see you!

What kind of compression can be done on the thighs and rear? I have been exercising for over a year and have only lost 20 lbs Mostly in the middle. I've tried fasting and all kinds of diets. I only eat 2 meals each day and most time I don't feel hungry. I've always wondered if I had lipedema or fibromyalgia because of the pain i feel just by scratching an itch on my thighs and upper arms. I'll be 48 in march. I work as a cosmetologist so I'm on my feet all day. I can't afford insurance so any advice would be astounding to me. Thank you for your infomative video.

After what I thought were typical lipedema symptoms, I was told I don't have lipedema by a vascular surgeon. In the past 9 mos. I've lost 80 lbs and around 5-6" reduction in each calf, but cankles remain and calves are still too big for any regular boots. I know vascular surgeons aren't lipedema experts, but now I'm wondering. Is the lipo procedure the same for lipedema vs regular fat? Not sure what path I should pursue now, if there even ARE two paths. If this is too specific, I do have a consult at the clinic in a few weeks, but inquiring minds want to know! 😉

What insurance will cover this kind of surgery ?

I am speechless after watching this video. I was diagnosed with CVI and had vein ablation in my right leg. However, I have all the symptoms of Lipedema and have always had the bowing of the inner knees and larger arms (14.5 “) that have always appeared out of proportion compared to other areas of the body.

Ty ty ty that is what is happening to me.

How long before hiking and jogging? How long do you have to wear compression?

Information please

You are certainly not nuts. Do you have any recommendations for patients in Greece? Any colleague of yours perhaps?

2 words: FAT NECROSIS!

I love you ❤️

I can't wait until I'm in the right place in life so I can come to your clinic and finally get the surgery!

For anyone who can’t afford surgery or wants to do what they can to feel better while working toward it, I have had pretty incredible changes by doing simple things to try to loosen how firmly attached the nodules are to each other and to the muscles underneath, by putting my hands on either side of one of my thighs/calves, and pressing in as much as possible without feeling like you’re going to bruise too badly (I would say, without feeling like you’re going to bruise, but when I started, just touching my skin to try to feel the nodules was enough to bruise, so that may not be possible at first). The more I have been able to create movement in the nodule layer, the more I can feel my lymph fluid flowing into the area, which feels like… like my muscles were half-jerky, and the lymph fluid flowing into the area is hydrating/plumping them again, which is SUCH an incredible relief I can’t describe it. I think as the areas are getting more lymphatic flow(along with compression garments to then get that lymph back out again) a lot of the swelling has gone down as well, although the nodules themselves have stayed, but my pain is drastically reduced

After having 7 1/2 L removed during lower body, Lipo, I was extremely lightheaded for 10 days. At first, I thought it was the effects of spinal anesthesia, but after two days where it was still so severe that every time I stood up, I thought I was going to pass out even with a normal blood pressure, I decided to Take electrolyte powders and even put some Celtic salt directly under my tongue before drinking water. It was immensely helpful and each day saw an improvement until this lightheadedness resolved at about day 10. I like your point about the vitamin D because of the removal of fat. It’s not something I had thought about.

Please turn off the unnecessary music

Fake tits don't even look good at the beginning. They always look awful, as actual real good tits REACT to gravity, not like the disgusting implants. Women don't need pathetic implants to satisfy simpletons. They need psychological treatment if they feel they do. That's it.

Wow, these are great results. Can one remove the excess skin as part of the surgery too?

Great video and thanks for what you do.

Do you also do manual ?

Got all excited and went online for more information--twice, 3 weeks apart--only to receive no reply at all from The Elston Clinic. So disappointed.

this is a lie tho. i know multiple trans women who were diagnosed with lipedema, and have the mass amounts of fat in their lower half after starting hrt. this video saying cis female only get this, is literally excluding trans women from getting treatment or coverage for lipedema. i can’t stand when they exclude people acting like it only happens to cis women, i know for a fact this is false.

Wish we could see a before picture.

How many weeks out from surgery?

I’m just over two weeks postop and everyday I get better but I still have days that are uncomfortable. Things that make me feel better is walking and rest when I get tired. MLD wipes me out but so necessary for my healing. Excited to see where I’ll be next week. My second surgery is January 7th. Looking forward to getting back to the gym and not being exhausted at times.

How much for the arms and tummy please?

😂 love this , I needed some laughs !! But yes to electrolytes they made a huge difference! You guys are the best

I know about it. I have it. Everybody gives info on everything except how to treat it! Even my doctor is super demeaning and does not treat it! I am so frustrated! I can barely walk. I am 72 years old. They all say I'm just fat and need to lose weight, or do more exercise. My legs got super bad so quickly when I quit smoking, after losing 75 lbs. on Keto four years ago. Now my legs are blowing up and nothing I do helps!

How to confirm if it's lipedema or not

If you don’t remove it all by being aggressive, does it proliferate? For lack of a better term…. I was told it needs to all go or the remaining lipedema fat will “grow wild.” On the other side of the coin, I was also told (aesthetically speaking) that it’s not about how much fat is taken but how much is left. And that too much fat removed can make you look bad. I don’t care about loose skin because I already have a ton of it from weight loss that I already need removed, let alone after lipo when I’m deflated even more. So, that’s not really a concern since I’m already there with needing the skin removed

Isn’t it more like a tattoo on our DNA? Because if you gain weight, your DNA remembers and you’ll grow it right back

What BMI would classify you as high volume? I guess that’s what’s confusing to me. I am 109/110 pounds and short. But I have stage 2 to stage 2.5. My thigh circumference is 20 inches and calf is 14 inches. BMI is 20.6 to 20.8 depending if I’m 109 or 110. I read online that BMI/weight has nothing to do with how much fat can be removed but I’d be freaked out to have 10 liters removed at 109 pounds 😢 Or even 8 liters. That’s hard in the body. I will make a consult with you, but I need to see when I can get off work because I’m in a state over from you

I’m scared of lipedema coming back after 😢

I’m calling Tuesday or Wednesday after I find out my schedule to make an appt with you. I have stage 2-2.5 lipedema and have it in my legs from my ankles to my hips but I don’t have saddle bags. I am 109 to 110 pounds. I’m afraid to have more than 4-5 liters removed because I don’t want to go into shock. If I’m 109 to 110 pounds, do you think I’d have more than 5 liters that are even able to be removed from me? And if so, should I do more than 1 surgery? Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Im 42 I just got diagnosed with stage 2 Lipedema. My insurance doesn’t cover the surgeries as they are considered cosmetic (in my state anyways.) I’m devastated, but trying to educate myself and keep my head up. Im thankful I found your channel!

I wish you guys had a clinic closer (I’m in the southeast US) I love seeing your videos, helps me know what to expect if I ever find a reputable place close by.

Thank you for this video, I am wondering if you try to go “along the grain” to minimize lymph vessel damage? I’ve heard other surgeons say that by going up and down and not side to side it is going with the grain of the lymphatics and helps minimize damage. Would you agree with this or maybe more bogus?

You’re a good doctor. I’m 4 days post surgery. I don’t live in Washington so I used a different provider but your info and videos are so very helpful.

How many days/weeks out from surgery is she?

I think I would opt for the drains, lol

Does Medicare cover lipedema surgery?

Is lipedema liposuction different than cosmetic plastic 360 liposuction?

Great video I love watching Contant like this

😄 I'm a huge Dad Joke fan!

Good to know!!!
