A new stomach, and a new beginning
For over 22 years I have had a stomach, it has grown very large with 8 pregnancies, 3 c-sections, a weight gain and loss of over 500 pounds total, and loss then weight gain again. It falls almost to my upper thigh, it is not comfortable and causes me a great deal of pain, it is full of lipedema fat which weighs about 12 pounds total. It causes hygiene issues and chronic infections. I am on antibotics often, must have a 40 minute showering routine and using the restroom is atrocious with a pannus such as this. I am so thankful that Blue Cross Blue Shield has over turned their decision and are allowing me reimbursement to remove the pannus, and to have liposuction on the upper abdomen. I will be a whole new woman by the time I am complete with all my surgeries. So on June 4th 2015 I will be having surgery number 6, yea that's right number 6 with at least two more to go, I am an expert at the insurance and liposuction game haha.!
Bioflect® FIR Therapy Lymphedema/ Lipedema Micromassage Compression Slimming Vest Tank Top with Posture Support
I just got this in yesterday to wear to review and help reduce
abdomen edema and help compress the Lipdema fat. But this product does
so much more! It compresses my buttocks,hips, back and chest as well.
This tank was slow putting on I tried it over the head and that was a
No-go, I tried stepping into it from the feet and pulling it up and that
made it easier. I have tucked them into my Bioflect Micro massage
Leggings for added compression benefit and a sleek contour. The fabric
is very soft and similar to the leggings,Capri and arm sleeves. I love
the Bioflect line of garments because it gives me a sense of empowerment
and compliance that I did not have before I found them.
I am 4'10 and about 225 pounds total, so I am short and fat, it fits all sizes and this is an XL.
And in exciting news they are developing extended sizing and colors exclusive to Lipedema Products. This is where I always shop for my compression, the service is speedy, there are discounts available for spending a certain dollar amount and also free shipping above a certain cost.

What an amazing gift!
Thanks to Dr. Jason Emer, MD for holding a photo contest for a free Venus Legacy treatment during the week of the MTV Movie Awards, I just got told I had won, what an amazing experience and it is valued at $500.00. I will definitely be taking advantage of this after my surgeries are complete. thanks so much for choosing me for this gracious leg treatment. #EmerMD The time you took to read my story and sharing it with social media adds to the legacy that I want to leave behind, to educate, and enlighten about Lipedema and the treatments associated with it!
