I wish I had a dr that cared this much..

This patient is so brave! Shout out to her for being a hero to all us Lippie ladies.

Thank you to the brave lady for sharing her experience and letting us see what the condition looks like in real life. This has been very useful :)

A shout out the lady in the video who is the patient.   That's take a lot of guts to stand up and offer your self as a example.   You looked nervous.  You dam you get my total respect for your Awseomness.

How great that patient is to go through this for us all who struggle with weight 😢 and other symptoms , she is a champion 👍❤️

Thank you to the patient. You are awesome. Your bravery and confidence are appreciated very much.

Thank you to the beautiful lady who volunteered to teach me about lipedema. I am at the beginning stage of this disease.

The model is a champion and a hero.  Thanks so much for standing in for all of us.  And she’s so strong.  No crying, slapping, kicking or anything!   It was all very informative and we hope she forgives you some day, Dr!

Where oh where does one find such a caring and thoughtful  dr ,mine takes two months  for an appointment, then gives me ten minutes, I don't think she has ever seen my body !

I have only recently realized that have had lipedema since puberty. None of the Dr.'s ever addressed it even when all the signs were in plain view, and complaints were voiced. I have never been obese, and always reasonably fit. Yet, when I repeatedly complained about, and even showed photographs of my  incredibly swollen ankles and feet, along with the fat folds in my knees that never went away even when I was emaciated (weighing 94 lbs), I was dismissed by my PCP as being "dramatic." Recently, I was diagnosed with lipedematous alopecia. Even with this diagnosis, nobody connected the dots. I am 66 years old, and thanks to this information, I finally put the diagnostic puzzle together.

Thanks to the lovely lady who modeled during the exam. My body is similar to yours.

This lady is my hero! Stone faced until the boobs. I don’t know how she held it together so well 😂🥰

The hug at the end was a  beautiful finish. Thankyou to both.

Every time she says she’s moving to another area and palpating I’m saying ouch! This exam would put me under the bed for a month. A very deep thank you to this sweet lady going through this exam for us.

I learned so much because this wonderful woman volunteered to be examined! ❤❤😊

I had no idea that it wasn't normal for people to not touch the floor  with flat hands

Kudos to the patient and the dr is excellent explaining the condition. I wish I can be seen by this doctor

I love Dr. Herbst - she has been such a font of knowledge on the subject of Lipedema. Unfortunately patients report that she has recently stopped seeing new patients. The very few doctors who even diagnose and treat Lipedema with her level of expertise have LONG waitlists. We need more competent, trained clinicians!

Anytime I'm weighed at my doctor's office, I will say that a lot of it is fluid. She kind of smirks while she's typing. But it is fluid! They just don't listen.

Amazing video, fantastic Doctor and explanation on palpation. I really admire the patient openness and bravery shown by the patient. It's videos like this that will change the world's understanding of Lipedema. Thank you for creating this!
