One of the common presentations of lipedema is a swelling or fullness just above the ankle that changes abruptly to a normal skin and fatty tissue thickness below, on the foot
Understanding these cardiovascular effects is essential for safe prescribing and monitoring, particularly in patients with baseline hypotension or those taking antihypertensive medications
Clinical approach considerations: Patient selection: Stable post-surgical patients with inadequate weight loss, weight regain, or persistent metabolic disease Timing: Individualized based on weight trajectory and metabolic status, often when weight loss plateaus or regain is documented Baseline evaluation: Comprehensive metabolic panel, nutritional markers (vitamin B12, iron studies, vitamin D, calcium, albumin), HbA1c if diabetic, lipid panel, assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms, renal function Dosing strategy: For Wegovy, initiate at 0.25 mg weekly with gradual titration (0.250.51.01.72.4 mg)
These tests examine areas such as hormone levels, organ function, and nutritional deficiencies
