Fantastic! Mind if I ask what you are doing for the lymphedema? I have it in my left leg and it is definitely something I need to address.

Fantastic! Mind if I ask what you are doing for the lymphedema? I have it in my left leg and it is definitely something I need to address.

We are trying a couple of things.

My first treatment my PT put my right leg (the smaller of the two) in this big boot-like contraption that massages the leg and then manually massaged my left one. Then she wrapped my left calf with foam and bandages for compression. I am supposed to wear the wraps until my next visit or they come off on their own.

Then, we had snow days and bad weather so I couldn't go for a week.

Right now we are trying for Monday, Wednesday, Friday appointments. It's interesting try to work a swim schedule around being wrapped and unwrapped.

Even one treatment, in addition to keeping my feet elevated a lot while snowed in, really helped because by my second treatment I was able to get both legs in the boot/massagers and she wrapped both calves.

We are experimenting to see what works but I am really happy with the results so far.

I told her I will need to come see her Halloween if I want to dress up like a mummy!

The first one was great. I missed the second one due to the snow but hopefully by next class I will have finished my homeworkers.

It took me a while because of the snow and my physical therapy, but I finally got my massage today. I promise not to wait so long for my next one. I still have two certificates left and definitely have to use them before they expire in June.

      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! 😞
