I wonder if there is anyone out there who suffers with Lymphoadema ? I have it in both legs and abdomen and It's a condition I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I am in the process of being assessed for bariatric surgery as I am morbidly obese. Any fellow sufferers who would like to share their thoughts, successes, failures, highs and lows then I'm here.
I don't have this condition, I just wanted to say "welcome to the forum ". There is a health issues section, as well as a surgical weight loss section where you may find helpful information, though.
I really feel for you as I can imagine how difficult it is with your swollen limbs. I used to retain water when I was big when the weather was hot and that was bad enough!!! It must be tons worse and a real nuisance as well as so very painful.
Plenty of us manage to address morbid obesity using nutritional control. It would certainly be worth you giving that a try while waiting for your assessment. After all - after bariatric surgery, people only lose weight because they eat less food than they had done previously... If you can manage to eat less now - you would be that much ahead of the game.
