I suffer from Stage 2, Type 4 Lipedema meaning my legs and arms are infected and it has already progressed due to hormonal changes and big weight fluctuation.
In my initial post about my first Lipedema surgery, I was a bit hasty with saying that it “cured my Binge Eating Disorder” and changed my life. Months passed and it became very apparent that my weight loss was a result of the lack of eating any solid foods after the surgery and not because the doctor removed a lot of the infected fat tissue. It turns out that the amount he removed (3 litres in total) was way too little and I would have to get at least two more surgeries to take care of this chronic illness.
