I used to wrap. I have a full leg brace I have to wear and a pump. The swelling leave but comes back. It's not as bad as it used to be but still bad. I don't try to let it stop me. I brought it up do to it add weight on the scale. I don't know my correct weight. I was told I have 43lbs of water weight. I was trying to tell the doctor that. He want me to lose 80-110 lbs. He's not looking at the total picture. If I did lose that or close to it we won't know do to the lymphedema. Make it so bad he did a lympnodes transplant on my leg it didn't work due to the healing and the loose skin. My therapist and I think it is. Thanks for your advise

maybe you should consider another doctor. One Whois more knowledgeable about lymphedema.
