In the lipedema world, Carol Nogueira is lucky to be one of the ones to discover her lipedema when she was still at stage one. That doesn't mean that discovery was without its challenges. We also talk about how it can be overwhelming to get this diagnosis and how it becomes part of our identity. Carol also talks about how she figured out that she had lipedema and then her experience finding a surgeon to help her try to keep it there. Listen to hear about her lipedema journey that has taken her to be one of our community's Lipedema Advocates.
