The name Ninewells reminds me of four magnificent years I spent in Dundee. If you live in that area, then a warm hello to you.

But it's as if you did. Was the liposuction successful? You were in one of the best hospitals in the UK.

Morning Gins, Like wise, not been on this site for so long now with all my surgery. I am now on the Lipoedema Ladies site more as my Lipoedema had become more troublesome, but most of this has now been removed from my legs. First Scottish patient to under go the surgery.

Hi Ninewells

I am pretty new here but can you please tell me if you got all your lipodema removed at Ni swells hospital and how many sessions and the costs please ???

I really hate these legs and have tried to get help for over 30 years now

I think now as I approach 50 I realise that these legs have been a curse all my life

Please reply with some good info

Thanks

I really hope you are now feeling much more comfortable.........nobody Truely knows how it feels unless they too have it....! Have a good day.x

Rebec

Hope you are feeling much better. Nobody deserves to suffer from lymphoedema. To think that there are only 20% who develop it, at least in my type! Enjoy the day. One should look at the positive and enjoy being able to see and hear and talk, and I almost forgot, write emails!

Just joined today, though I've had lower leg lympho for 10 years now... big sympathies re.shower!

The New Normal of stockings on before even getting up, and only off again for shower just before bed. No use hating the stockings, even when it's hot; life between getting the swellings and getting the stockings was horrible and demoralising, so I have to love them really!

(Just grateful I didn't have to go through cancer first - and that swelling's not got worse as quickly as I feared after first diagnosis/those terrifying google findings.)

Top of the morning to you too So nice to see a fellow suffer trying to be positive Un fortunately I was born with the condition and after 31 years trying to get a diagnosis I was referred to a breast cancer oncologist and knew exactly what I had My wonderful Irish Professor told me bandaging would be unsuitable for my type and de bulking was not a wise move so at the time with a 5 and 3 year old and Drs saying rest and put your legs up as much as possible 😳🤣 I was put on Pain clinic list Acceptance is hard and now I’m my 60s hobbies and family are my life and I just take it one day at a time. It’s the only way. So nice to chat to another cheery leg struggling woman who totally understands how it feels 🙏🏻
