My lymphedema is doing great

I have been working with doctors, therapists since Christmas. No Help. Now I get massage therapy at home 3 times a week, use lumbar belts on upper legs, swim almost daily and use jacuzzi jets to massage legs. The lymphedema is completely gone in the morning after a long night sleep but my legs begin to thicken within hour if not wrapped during the day. Is there anything I can so to keep my legs from filling up? I am having open surgery in June and hope that as my movement increases my lymphedema will decrease. Thanks michel

When you get your surgery and you have the weight come off that will help a lot. However even now after I've lost a great deal of weight I'm still having issues with them swelling on me. I have to make sure that I'm using compression hose as much as possible for them to maintain. Amy
