i have been diagnosed with a medical condition called lipodemia i have to pay £40000 to have this operation as NHS doesnt fund it which im not sure why. the operations are 4 hours per time and i need to have 4 done they cost just over £10000 per op. if i dont have it i will need hip/knee replacement young in age and also could end up in wheelchair. my body at the moment is swollen and i am struggling with everyday life. i am 30 years old now and am suffering as well as my family.
