this photo is me post-op. hospital gown. beige compression stockings up to my thighs. tubes everywhere. my legs are elevated on pillows because they're so swollen the nurse had to prop them up. I'm smiling because for the first time in 14 years someone believed me. my doctor told me to eat less. I was eating 1200 calories. she told me to exercise. I was walking 5 miles a day. it took 14 years for someone to say the word lipedema. fourteen years of being called lazy by people in lab coats. after surgery they gave me these beige stockings. medical compression. wear them every day they said. so I did. every morning sitting on the edge of my bed pulling these ugly hot tubes up my legs and thinking this is my life now. someone in my lipedema group posted compression leggings. not beige. not medical. just leggings. graduated compression that does the same thing. I cried putting them on. I looked in the mirror and I didn't look like a patient. I still have lipedema. I always will. but I stopped dreading getting dressed. buy 1 get 1 free. free shipping. 30 day money back.
