Lipodema treatment on the NHS?

Has anyone had treatment on the NHS for lipodema?

I've paid for a private consultation and finally been diagnosed. I've battled for years with my GP who has just ignored all my physical symptoms (let alone the mental/psychological effects)

I can afford to fund one treatment, but the consultant said I would need at least three, maybe with removal of excess skin. There is no other way to treat this other than liposuction.

Anyone in the same positron?

Thanks, I'd already read that.

I was hoping for advice from someone who has had treatment either privately or on the NHS
