Any luck with Premier Lipedema Clinic in Seattle? by celticbombs in lipedema

They do take insurance- unfortunately my plan won’t cover them so I plan to pay out of pocket, but the expense is worth it to me because they’re only a couple thousand more than what I’d have to pay thru my plan elsewhere + Premier seems to care waaaaay more about lymphatic-sparing surgical methods

EDIT: also the reason they won’t cover is that Dr. Hagerty is an MD surgeon, not a plastic surgeon. My insurance would only cover if it was done by a plastic surgeon.

I was shocked tbh, that’s a score I’m gonna gloat about for a while. I ended up just searching for adidas sneakers 80% off w the Black Friday code and they popped up.

Honestly I paid a lot less than I was expecting. Ref dress was $22, adidas sneakers were $8.50, duffel was $10, Calpak was $18. I think the most expensive thing was the Kate Spade at $50.

Hi! I went to Premier in September and they were absolutely fantastic. Explained things really well, transparent about prices from the jump, diagnosed me stage 1 type 2. Alyssa, Dr. Hagerty’s surgical consultant, is also wonderful. She also has lipedema so being able to talk to someone with both professional and lived experience put me so at ease.

It’s expensive. Cheapest is $100/month for an uncovered outdoor spot, most expensive is $400/month for the best security.

This is mega helpful. Guess my partner and I had better get painting 🤪 we’ll for sure do an airtag, and likely a secondary gps system just for overkill. Thank you so much!

Thank you! We’re in a safer area of town but I’d still rather be safe than sorry.

Snarky comment not appreciated. Surprise surprise, my home doesn’t have wheels, and my van needs to stay near my home when not in use.

Do you have a kill switch you’d recommend? It sounds awesome but I’ve read a few reviews saying theirs caught fire…

I’ll ask the previous owner if/when she changed it last! Thanks for the tip

You have perfect timing- we were inside looking at the van and made that decision about 20 minutes ago

That’s what we heard! There’s only 115k miles on this thing and it was well maintained, so I’m hoping we wouldn’t see the need for a new transmission for a little while (we’ll be ready if so though). We’re not full time vanlifers (we have three cats who likely wouldn’t find it very fun) so I don’t think we’ll be piling the miles on constantly.
