I MADE IT TWO WEEKS! 24-7 compression is not for the faint of heart. It felt so good to take of the pair that I’ve had on since the surgery and squeeze into a new one. The arms look great! Definitely a big transformation I can see right away, compared to the other three surgeriesContinue reading “15 Days Post-op Arms”

Surgery #4 – arms!
Hello Spokane! I’ve made to the (hopefully) final one! Tomorrow I have my Lipedema removal surgery for full arms. This is one I’m really interested in to see how my arms feel after they heal. This will all be worth it if getting my blood pressure taken is complete torture!! This surgery is even moreContinue reading “Surgery #4 – arms!”

This is a coat I’ve had for many years and NEVER been able to zip. This change to delicious fall sweater weather has meContinue reading “ZIPPED!!”

I’ll still wear it almost all the time but it’s nice to make that choice. I have to sayContinue reading “Made it 8 weeks”
Puffy
Another trip to the salon for the other daughter! Another picture of my swollen feet… I had to order compression one size down, so at least something is either stretching out or slimming down! Just not my ankles and feet! #lipedemarevolution #lipedemareductionsurgery #lipedema #fatreduction

I took one of my daughters and her friend (& my best friend) to see Lizzo last night. What a Big Girl Energy festival of joy! I’m 32 days post-op. I feel like I have a toddler whose age I keep saying in months… We had to drive an hour plus 45 minutes of waitingContinue reading “Lizzo!”
