Hope I can get some help.

I have lymphedema in my left lower leg. I have been getting wrap and now the good old hose. Can you believe I'm to wear these at this 100 temp. All I did yesterday was cry. It seems all this weight lost has not help, because it was due to surgery years ago and my age is not helping.

Now the want me to wear night stockings and day stockings. There is also a pump to use for a hour at night. My insurance may pay ay around 8,000.00 Is there any one that can tell me what they are doing.

There is a form for this but not much posting.

Thanks,
Shirley

I can only relate to the heat and inconvenince.

I have an open wound from tissue necrosis from tummy tuck 8 weeks ago and have to wear compression corset with stays and heavy compression briefs.  I stay in AC as much as possible.

Hope things go well for you.

Penny,

Thanks so very much.The diffenence is YOU will be so very happy with the way you look and you won't have to wear the compression all the time. Of everything that I have done the TT was the BEST!!!!!
