Hosts Lisa, Janine, and Janae welcome Sarah (SarahLifeAndLipedema) to discuss her lipoedema diagnosis after massive weight loss, starting MLD therapy, and pursuing multiple removal surgeries including a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty. The episode covers recovery challenges (drains, compression, swelling), emotional impacts and mom-guilt, the power of TikTok community support, and a research moment on promising red light therapy findings in lymphedema and the need for lipoedema studies. Sarah shares practical tips, improvements in pain and mobility, and plans for upcoming procedures as she documents the life-changing journey.
