Hello everyone...i wanted to make this post in the hopes i can get some ideas of my new lifestyle change. I finally got my surgery date for 11/13/2023. One of the main reasons for the surgery is i was diagnosed with Lympodema back in 2016 but was never really informed about how bad it would get throughout the years. with also being overweight it has made my mobility extremely difficult these last few years but i have to make the most of it to provide for my family. so my PCP and cardiologist said the surgery would help me in the long run. i was wondering if anyone also has/had lympodema that had the surgery if they saw any changes at all and if so what kind? have a blessed day

How long after you had the procedure did you start to notice the change with ur arms and legs? I truly appreciate ur responses because i have been doubting things with my surgery but to hear that you are doing better since your surgery is definitely giving me hope.

thank you so much for your reply. my lymphedema is mostly in my legs and the same goes for me. daily chores are hard to do with having to stop every few minutes to sit and relax/catch my breath. even driving i get scared because i need more reaction time than most but i muscle through it. i was reading so many different things how sleeve surgery may not help but reading your story it is giving me so much more hope. do you you have the compression socks still for your legs?
