It was a boo-tiful night to talk about lipedema, especially since Linda Anne Kahn had recently returned from the Lipedema World Congress in Germany, filled with insights and emerging research to share! Special guest Dr. Molly Sleigh also joined the panel with takeaways from her time at the National Lymphedema Network Conference in Philadelphia.
Cara Cruz shared the mind-bending “lipedema math” that can see 20 and 30 pounds of lipedema fat removed through surgery… and yet the scale doesn’t move. Also discussed were C-reactive proteins, self-massage, and the challenge of educating more general practitioners about lipedema so patients don’t have to go decades without a diagnosis.
