WELCOME!
Welcome!
You are probably here because you were recently diagnosed or suspect you have Lipedema. You are NOT alone and your hip, thigh and leg growth is NOT your fault! I have dedicated this site to raising awareness and offering education on this disease and its co-occurring conditions. Know that no matter your size or shape, you are MORE THAN YOUR FAT!

LIPEDEMA LOWER BODY TYPES
Does this describe you?
- Have you been gaining weight, particularly in the hips and thighs?
- Is the weight evenly dispersed between the right and left side of your hips and thighs (symmetrical)?
- Have you noticed diets and exercise do NOT affect the extra weight on your hips and thighs?
- Did the weight gain change after puberty, childbirth or menopause?
- Do your legs swell during the day but are relieved by elevation?
If you answered YES to one or more of the above questions, you may have a fat disease called Lipedema. This disease affects over 11% of adult women worldwide.
