#1in9

DAY 120 POST-OP: If you haven’t figured it out yet, I spent the last week in #whitefish #montana to witness my dear friend @donahueandrea marry her best friend. While on the trip, we visited #BigMountain. I have never been a “full body picture” type of girl, until now. If you zoom in you can see the ankle swelling. This was a daily occurrence, but it didn’t slow me down. Thank you @drrepta_plasticsurgery for giving me my mobility back. I am feeling better each and everyday. Swimming has become part of my routine (which I didn’t do the past month). I got back in the pool today and kicked my way through a few podcasts and my legs were tired! #MakingMemoriesNotMillions #thegirlwiththeskinnyfeet #notfatflooded #floodednotfat #summer2018 #lipedema #1in9 #11percent #nevada #scottsdale #arizona #thatviewthough #educateyourself #educateotherstoo #kicklipedemaintheass @jlwilson3 @ms_jess_wilson #myjourney #lipedemajourney #lymphedema #lympathicsystem #movethatlymph #dontstop #medicaltribe #drreptaforthewin #drrosnerforthewin #nplaurieforthewin #livingmybestlife (at Henderson, Nevada)

1st surgery: 267 DAYS POST-OP 2nd Surgery: 156 DAYS POST-OP Well hello Thursday! I thought it was about time to show a comparison from the very beginning of this journey until today. I have so many things that I could write while looking at these pictures, but more than anything it’s just a big THANK YOU to anyone that has supported me during this journey. It has been a time of personal growth and learning to love myself and worth every single second. #thegirlwiththeskinnyfeet #11percent #1in9 #notfatflooded #floodednotfat #kicklipedemaintheass #lipedema #fulipedema #mylympathicsystemisfdup #drreptaforthewin #drrosnerforthewin #nplaurieforthewin @laurie_ann123 @drdavidrosner @drrepta_plasticsurgery @ms_jess_wilson @jlwilson3 #lasvegas #nevada #scottsdale #arizona #silverlining #alwaysfindthesilverlining (at Henderson, Nevada)

DAY 128 POST-OP- It’s amazing how certain people can touch your heart in such a way and maintain that special place in your heart. When I was “going through it” last school year, I was so miserable because I was trapped in a fluid filled body. I was in physical pain, emotionally lost and mentally done. One of my student aides recognized how miserable I was. I never brought it up, but she could feel the energy I was projecting. One day @savannahstithh @lashesbysav said to me, “Ms. Wilson, you should do something for yourself, why don’t you go get some lashes!” Little did I know that this beautiful soul,only 17 years old knew exactly what I needed. So I took her advice, and did it. This was about 2 weeks prior to my first surgery in November. Well here I am almost 8 months later and still doing something for myself. Thank you to the amazing people @sassylasheslv for making me feel comfortable in my own skin. I am kicking myself for not giving you guys the recognition you deserve because your business has been a part of my journey too! To all my friends suffering from #Lipedema do something for yourself that makes you comfortable and confident in who you are. #lashes @ifeelprettyfilm @ifeelpretty @amyschumer #notfatflooded #floodednotfat #kicklipedemaintheass #fulipedema #educateyourself #educateotherstoo #summer2018 #thegirlwiththeskinnyfeet #feelGOODaboutYOURSELF #DoYou #1in9 #11percent #alwaysfindthesilverlining #silverlining

DAY 110 POST-OP: I have an honest question, and would be interested in knowing how many of you had never heard of #lipedema or #lymphedema prior to my posts (more for my fb friends). Just curious because I wish I would have known about it or someone that knew about it would have told me about it... if that makes sense... Last night when I laid down my legs started hurting and I was too tired to get up and use one of my #compressionpumps Tonight on the other hand, I am making sure I get it done because my legs are tired! Oscar & Rory got their pampering yesterday so I am very thankful for my dear friend @lv_jules who was kind enough to help me relax a bit during my day and @mialanilife was perfect for the picture of the pampering process! The heat is no joke out here in the desert though! Still can’t get over the fact that this is the first summer I have worn shorts since probably college... thanks to my medical tribe and my family and friends for supporting me in this process. #OperationJessica is pretty fun, and has been a journey! #thegirlwiththeskinnyfeet #mylympathicsystemisfdup #fulipedema #kicklipedemaintheass #ThereIsNoLoveLikePupLove #RoryGirl #OscarBoy #notfatflooded #floodednotfat #1in9 #11percent #lipedema #lipedemafighter #lipedemawontwin #educateyourself #educateotherstoo #drreptaforthewin #drrosnerforthewin #nplaurieforthewin @ms_jess_wilson @jlwilson3 (at Henderson, Nevada)
