I need your help today. Would you please subscribe to my YouTube channel? It’s at www.YouTube.com/UCClrV-k0eVqw_0APgEaQklA. Once I get more subscribers, I can change the URL to something that makes more sense.
When I started videoing my surgery journey for lipedema reduction, I seriously had no idea if anyone would even watch the videos. I’ve been sharing to several FaceBook groups, and blogging as I have had time on this site, and then tweeting. Since day 1 of this crazy ride, I’ve been getting well more than 1000 emails, Direct Messages, comments, questions, phone calls and yes, even CARDS. This continues today.
I’m getting a lot of questions on similar things and I plan to blog about them to give a good answer, and make videos to share on YouTube.
Here’s a sample of topics I plan to discuss:
- What doctor did you use, why did you use him?
- Tell me about travelling as a person of size
- Where did you stay, eat
- Tell me about the recovery center
- Can you diagnose me?
- Tell me about how you got insurance approval?
- Did your surgeon make you pay upfront?
- How did you feel on a certain day?
- Questions around how my mental health has been affected so far
- Tell me about your back story – how did you find out you have lipedema
- What did you pack for surgery
- Tell me about compression (SO many questions about compression)
- I’m new to lipedema, what do I do now?
- Help me find a provider who knows about lipedema
- Help me educate my current doctor about lipedema
- I need support
- And so much more…
With the amount of responses I’m getting, I know our community needs support. I hope more of you will choose to share your journey, talk with doctors and patients and anyone who will listen.
Best of health to you and much love.
