Learned something new today!

Oct 27, 2012

There's this other group I belong to.  It's part of Daily Strength but there's a group on Facebook that a bunch of people from the weight loss surgery support group on daily strength put together.  Anyway... I'm not sure how I found it but I guess the computer remembers what you click on and stuff and then puts up ads or other related articles you may be interested in.  ANYWAY...... I found this article about a Dr. in Boston that did a study on people with Lymphedema.  I was always taught that Lymphedema was not a direct cause of obesity.  Being obesity certainly doesn't help but it's not like a co-morbidity of obesity.  It was believed to be something that happened after surgery to an area or some kind of injury.  

Basically in a nutshell I learned that the study proved that significant weightloss, ie... from gastric bypass, could help my Lymphedema tremendously!  That it may even reverse the condition!!  

I'm going to find the link and paste it in here.  I don't think I'm making any sense because it's 3am and I'm now just knackered, as my husband would say.

I'll find it and paste it tomorrow... just so I can have a record of it somewhere.  I got my Sarah to confirm it and she said it was true and she would know.  Miss her.
