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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
