Lymphedema (Swelling in lower legs)



Recommended Posts

Did anyone of you have/had Lymphedema that got better after surgery?? I have had Lymphedema most of my entire adult life- have had therapy etc and manage it with a daily pump and compression hose- but I would LOVE to get rid of them just as much as I did my band.....

Mine is WAY better post-op than pre-op. I still try to wear looser socks when I work out, but I think the improvement is very visible in my pics. Exercise may play a part in it for me as well. The discoloration has improved a lot too.

I went in for my normal check up n the Dr was like your legs decreased so much we had to check our measurements 3 times! So I have been instructed to not buy the expensive compression stockings for now...just using OTC socks considering all the weight loss. I'm doing great. I only pump my legs once a day for an hour rather than morning/night.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
