I had a LBL on Nov 6 and since Jan I have been experiencing some pretty severe intermittent swelling in my left leg (from the knee down). I went to see a GP last night and she suggested that it is likely an issue with my lymphatic system after the body lift. She is still sending me for some tests (blood, kidney etc) but it certain that it is a complication of the plastic surgery.

Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do ????

There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them.

Sorry I haven't experienced this problem. Just wanted to wish you well. Also, maybe a compression garment may help. Remeber the TED stockings the white ones from the hospital, try those they may help with the swelling.
