"Giant lipoma removal"

About: Glasgow Royal Infirmary / Plastic Surgery & Burns (wards 45, 47, 48 & 49)

(as the patient),

Castle Street plastic surgery unit, I had a massive lump removed it changed my life, I hid my lump with long hair, I dressed in baggy clothes to hide it, I lost self confidence, I was fobbed off for years by my GP it was too small to notice, then it was too big then it was massive, I got a new gp I was in and out in three months after 12 years of misery. They were so kind at castle Street I told them they could operate in the car park and film it if it meant getting rid of it, the minute I spoke to the secretary and the surgeon I felt better, I got to the unit they were patient and explained how the op would go and step by step how the aftercare would go, my scar is the length of a small mobile phone and I can move my arms  and lift things so much better, thank you so much.
