Episode Notes

Today we talk about surgery. Are you thinking about liposuction for your lipedema / lipoedema? Does the thought make you nervous that you don't know everything you need to know. My conversation with Maria Kokkinou Boege may give you some peace.

We start off talking about Maria's lipoedema journey, then move on to the fabulous Facebook group she has put together. A support group where women share the experiences searching for the right surgeon and then their surgery successes and challenges. The group also provides a wealth of resources on how to get you ready to make that decision and what to do as you prepare for surgery day.

Here's the link to this private, patient-only Facebook group:

Thanks to Maria for setting up the group and for taking the time to join me for this podcast episode.
