Lipedema experiences – Profile of Sandra

My name is Sandra and I am 30 years old. I have had my diagnosis since the summer of 2021 and, especially on the way to the operation, I was burdened by the constant restrictions in everyday life due to the pain, which I could not classify for a long time, and also my visual appearance, which I could not influence significantly even through good nutrition and sport.

That was me and my lipedema in stage I – II:

I had conservative therapy for a few months, manual lymphatic drainage.

Then I came to LIPOCURA® and everything changed!

I decided on LIPOCURA® because only lipedema specialists work at LIPOCURA®, who ultimately do nothing else all day but fight against this disease. In addition, one is operated on holistically and over a large area, so that redistribution and the return of the lipedema is greatly minimised. I entrusted myself to LIPODOC Tim Kurpanek because I felt absolutely taken seriously and understood.

I wanted to say goodbye to my lipedema because I am still young and did not want to be further limited by this disease.

That is me today:

Between then and now are:

• 2 operations on back, waist, hips, lower legs, thighs, arms and 16.8 litres of fat.
• I had plasma tightening on the upper arms and front of the thighs.

Today I continue to eat a balanced and healthy diet and exercise regularly.

My biggest fear before the operation was actually the anaesthetic, because it is a big operation. I was also a bit scared of the catheter, but in retrospect this was totally unfounded.

Indispensable for me in the hospital bag were cola and loose dark clothes that could get dirty.

I am especially grateful on my lipedema journey that my husband supported me so unconditionally.

To all those who are still in doubt about the decision to have surgery, I want to say that you only have this one body and this one life. You should definitely live it pain-free and without restrictions!
