Deanna, I seen your post on the message board, and I can relate as I too had terrible edema.... I had lots of studies done but all things turned out normal.... the Dr. said your legs are pumps...walk walk walk....but what I want to tell you is there is hope for you if it is not a medical condition that is causing your edema... as for me after my surgery I know longer have the swollen legs I now have real ankles :o) I hope you have the same luck as me....best wishes in your journey surgery 3-11-03 Hugs and God Bless Maureen

Hi Deanna---I saw your message on the message board about having to fill out all of your previous weight loss attempts on your paperwork. I had the same feelings---it made me feel "weak" that I couldn't do it on my own, "ashamed" like all fat people have been made to feel by society! But, I got past that by reading a lot of the research that recognizes obesity as an illness. And---to look on the POSITIVE SIDE---if you hadn't made several earnest attempts, you would not meet the requirements for this surgery! You will experience many emotions during this journey: shame, anger, fear, sadness, but finally JOY when you see the results you can achieve. God bless you and know that we're here to support you, whatever you need!
