Group Zoom Call / Consultation
Why Should I Attend a Group Zoom Call?
- It is a great way to learn about Lipoedema from Dr Lekich, as well as the stories and questions raised by other participants
- Learn about conservative management, common comorbidities, and your surgical options including pricing
- Discover what you can do now to get started before you see the Doctor for a one-on-one consultation
- Find out as much as possible, so you can use your one-on-one telehealth with the doctor to discuss YOUR specific Lipoedema presentation, already armed with a lot of important knowledge
- Your partner or a support person can join the call with you, from the comfort of your home, learn together and bring them on the journey
- Gain confidence and validation from learning more about Lipoedema
What is the Group Zoom Call?
- The Group Zoom Call is the first step of the process at Lipoedema Surgical Solution.
- During the call Dr Lekich will provide an overview of Lipoedema and our holistic protocol for diagnosis and treatment.
- The call is interactive with yourself, the Doctor and the other participants
- The call goes for 90 minutes and there will be an opportunity to ask questions directly to Dr Lekich.
- If there are a lot of questions, the call may go for up to 2 hours.
- Your anonymity is respected – you’re welcome to keep your camera off if you prefer!
- Can we update the image to show a group of people on the call – like the one attached – or is this too much for the little story area?
What are the next steps following the Group Zoom Call?
Following the Group Zoom Call with Dr Lekich, you will be invited to undergo a telehealth appointment with one of our doctors, where you will receive an individual case summary, diagnosis, referrals for tests, letter to your medical team, and a conservative management plan.
The goal of this telehealth call is to get your journey started with conservative management alongside our doctors, while our doctors also assess what other steps you may need to consider to become surgically ready.
Your doctor will provide a treatment plan for veins (if required).
If you are considering surgery, our team will help you book a face-to-face appointment for a transcranial doppler (TCD) to check for a ‘hole in the heart’ or Patent Foreman Ovale (PFO), which is a prerequisite for surgery.
If your doctor deems it appropriate, they will provide you with a Lipoedema/ Lymphoedema surgical plan and quote.
The standard of surgery is minimally invasive, not requiring open surgery. The Lipoedema-Extraction surgery is a medical treatment for Lipoedema of the legs and arms, aiming to arrest the disease.
