Lipomas dont cling to anything

You need not worry, a lipoma is a benign fatty grow. It easily shells out and does not grab onto things like Spinal Cord Stimulators. If anything, thes types of tumors will push things out of there way as they grow. A capable surgeon will easily be able to remove this and keep you safe.
