Interesting article with research references about those with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and use of GLP-1 drugs.

Why am I posting this? because many women with Lipedema also have EDS or MCAS or both... I have Lipedema but not EDS nor MCAS.

Does anyone have a personal experience to share?

This is HUGE news for the world wide lipedema community!

As a Certified Lymphedema Therapist

(and a lippy girl myself)

supporting women with conservative lipedema treatment and lipedema reduction surgery recovery, this is a big deal in Germany!

I've always heard great things about Dr Ghods clinic.

Maybe the rest of the EU will get on board.

⁩ ⁨🎉 Big News for Women with Lipedema in Germany! 🇩🇪
Liposuction for lipedema is now officially approved for health insurance provision in Germany 🙌💉
🟣 The Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) confirmed today that liposuction is a proven and beneficial treatment for lipedema in the legs and arms — regardless of disease stage.
📋 Eligibility is likely to require:
✅ Official diagnosis from 2 healthcare professionals
✅ 6 months of conservative treatment
✅ Stable body weight
💡 This decision is based on strong scientific evidence — especially the pivotal LIPLEG study — and reflects a major shift toward recognizing patient needs and lived experiences.
📆 Outpatient billing codes are expected by 1 January 2026, making treatment more accessible in clinical practice.

Lipedema World Alliance congratulates all involved in the decisions and contributions, including LWA Board Members Professors Manuel Cornely and Mojtaba Ghods whose surgical centres provided the majority of LIPLEG patients, and Dr Gabriele Faerber co-ordinator and lead author of the German Lipedema Guidelines under the guidance of the German Society of Phlebology and Lymphology. LWA was also pleased to see the Committee considering the patient perspective through the evidence given by Susanne Helmbrecht of the LWA Founder Member patient organisation Lymphselbsthilfe e.V.
Together, we move forward for better care. 💜

Always good to see more coverage about lipedema out there in the media. It's estimated as many as 11% of the women in the US have this condition. Spread the word. Education is key to catching it early and learning to manage symptoms before it progresses. Check out Lipedema Foundation for more info!

Aurora McCausland has lipedema, a painful disorder that causes a buildup of fat in the lower body. Her doctor said surgery could fix it, but her insurance has denied coverage.

Dr: You need to exercise more and eat less.

Me: I ride my bike 100 miles a week , lift weights, do yoga, and eat clean 1200 calories a day.

Dr: You are lying to me

Sound familiar?
Been gaslighted lately ?

This is an all too familiar conversation to those of us with lipedema.

I take the clinical brochure from the to every ... EVERY doctor I visit... I don't care about their discipline.

Education is the key! Spread the word. Lift the stigma!

I have Lipedema.

Learning about this condition in 2015 changed my life. It answered so many questions! Why do my legs ache? Why did I bruise so easily? Why can I exercise hours a day but my legs never change?

Sound familiar?

I'm happy to chat and share my knowledge and resources.

I have spent a lot of time over the past ten years researching and learning about best practices for managing Lipedema.

I help women with Lipedema. Let's chat!
