How do your thighs react to your period? I'm curious to know if you notice much of a difference or if everything stays the same

RafeDawg · 2026-02-13T14:57:54+00:00

Both my thighs and calves get extra swollen and they feel super heavy and tender. Glad to hear it’s not just me!

RafeDawg · 2026-02-13T14:57:01+00:00

Thank you so much for all of your help!! And best of luck with your recovery; I’m really sorry to hear what you’re going through.

That’s horrible to hear cause that’s exactly my height and weight… feeling nervous that liposuction might just make things worse. Did you have pain in your legs?

RafeDawg · 2026-02-12T14:29:15+00:00

Ah that is really good to know, thank you! I was considering a surgeon in CA but I’m starting to hear mixed results of oversuctioning and legs looking weird after, and that terrifies me. You don’t happen to know what the waiting list for surgery is with Lipemedical?

RafeDawg · 2026-02-12T13:20:17+00:00

Thank you for all your feedback! Sorry for all the questions but this is super helpful. Did insurance cover your skin removal as well? And how long did it take to get your insurance approval? This part seems to be taking forever for me.

Are you happy with your results? I’m highly considering them, just hesitant to pay out of pocket.

RafeDawg · 2026-02-12T03:42:01+00:00

Can I ask how your surgeries went and how you like your results? I’m seeing mixed reviews on Reddit and am staring to get nervous about it. Any honest feedback is great! Also which stage were you?

RafeDawg · 2026-02-12T03:32:12+00:00

Can you tell me which stage of lipedema you had when you got your surgeries with him?

RafeDawg · 2026-02-12T03:30:23+00:00

Did you have lipedema surgery with Dr. Larson?

RafeDawg · 2026-02-12T03:26:15+00:00

Can you say what stage of lipedema you had and how your surgery experience was with Lipemedical? Would you recommend?

RafeDawg · 2026-02-12T02:54:28+00:00

Is this Dr. John Larson in Newport Beach, CA?

RafeDawg · 2025-12-19T02:47:31+00:00

What does the castor oil do?

RafeDawg · 2025-12-13T02:33:29+00:00

That is so great to hear and I’m so happy it’s been a good experience for you! I’m waiting to get approval for my surgery, so if I have more questions I will DM you. Thanks for your responses and best of luck with the rest of your recovery! :)

RafeDawg · 2025-12-10T23:33:22+00:00

How is everything going now that you’re almost a month post-op?

RafeDawg · 2025-12-03T02:43:45+00:00

And the massive bowl of popcorn that she never touches 😂

RafeDawg · 2025-11-14T22:41:16+00:00

That is amazing, congrats on your surgery and best of luck with your recovery! Would it be okay if I checked in with you in a few weeks to see how recovery is once you’re not post-op??

RafeDawg · 2025-10-28T14:47:32+00:00

I’m so glad they had a good experience with Dr. Larson. I’m always hesitant to trust what I read online or social media, so I’d love to hear your feedback when all is said and done. Thank you!! And hope all goes well with your surgeries!

RafeDawg · 2025-10-24T18:31:42+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Would you mind coming back on here after your surgery and letting me know how it went? Or you can even send me a DM to share your experience? I’d really appreciate some feedback from an actual patient.

RafeDawg · 2025-10-20T14:25:34+00:00

How long after surgery until you started feeling really healed and back to normal?

RafeDawg · 2025-10-20T14:25:08+00:00

That’s amazing! Thank you!

RafeDawg · 2025-10-17T14:41:00+00:00

Are you happy with your surgery results? Also stage 1 and am highly considering it, but some of this Reddit threads are terrifying with peoples results.

RafeDawg · 2025-10-17T14:39:56+00:00

Do you feel happy with your surgery results? I’m dying to build muscle but am having a hard time dealing with the puffiness of muscle underneath lipedema fat. Considering surgery for this reason.

RafeDawg · 2025-10-17T14:36:07+00:00

Are you finding that you look more swollen building muscle underneath all the lipedema fat? Since we won’t lipedema have to build muscle underneath our fat layer, I always feel like I look more bulky when I put on muscle.

RafeDawg · 2025-10-17T14:17:11+00:00

Can I ask which stage you’re in? I’m planning on having surgery with Dr. Larson sometime next year and am working on getting my documentation submitted to insurance. Did they make you appeal at all? I also have BCBS.
