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.
