Teresa’s Lipedema Story

In this episode the lippy lymph ladies present a research moment suggesting radiographic evidence of lymphatic involvement in all women with lipedema, then Teresa shares her personal journey from misdiagnosis to multiple surgeries and meaningful symptom relief. The conversation covers conservative care, insurance advocacy (SPDs, ERISA, single-case agreements), appeals tips, post-op improvements in pain and mobility, and practical emotional support for patients and their families.
