My name is Jennifer Hovatter, my destiny in life is to help lymphedema patients. My dear friend and I have started a foundation in memory of my dear husband who passed away at age 43 2 years ago because he wasn't diagnosed early enough, he kept being told that he needed gastric bypass surgery. He wasn't properly treated. I am in school now and my dream is to open a lymphedma clinic in his memory. My lifelong duty now is to do whatever we can to help lymphedema patients. It is my dream to help in his memory. less
Jenny SternerHi Sherie: I think you need to find an LE therapist that will treat your LE AND your wounds at the same time.

The reduction you will get in the size of your legs should help those wounds heal, as long as there's no infection. If you can tell us where you're located, maybe we can help you find some help. Or you can check out www.lymphedemapeople.com. There's a doctor's registry there with some good info. My first stop would be the National Lymphedema Network though. Their website address is: www.lymphnet.org. Good luck and keep us posted!! less
