I have seen alot of women larger than me in size who have gotten surgery. Not body shaming. Lipedema fat weighs more than normal fat. I have been told by 2 very highly sought after surgeons that lipedema is treayed with lipo Also lymphedema can be maintained by debulking/ skin excission like thigh and arm lift. Have i bern misinformed? These doctors have great reviews Very educated Board certified Not putting surgeons down or any patients Confused sums it up
