HAVE YOU HAD ANY LUCK WITH LIPOMAS DISAPPEARING?

I HAVE NUMEROUS LIPOMAS...OFTEN ALSO CALLED "FATTY TUMORS". DEFINED PER THE MERCK MANUAL AS "Soft, movable, subcutaneous nodules with normal overlying skin. Patients may have one or many lipomas. They occur more often in women than men and appear most commonly on the trunk, nape, and forearms. They are rarely symptomatic, but pain may occur. Diagnosis is usually made clinically, but a rapidly growing lesion should be biopsied, although lipomas rarely become malignant. Treatment is not usually required, but bothersome lesions may be surgically excised or removed by liposuction." THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE POST-OP...DID YOU HAVE ANY LUCK WITH THEM GOING AWAY AFTER LOSING A LOT OF WEIGHT OR AM I GOING TO JUST LOOK LUMPY?
