I have always wanted to get this done/If I were you remember what you have sacrificed to get the surgery. Don't take it for granted. I hope this helps.

Does Anyone Who Lives In Charlotte, Know Of A Doctor That Will Do Surgery On Lymphedema On Thights? Please Let Me Know

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Charlotte, NC

I'm battling a condition called lymphedema on my thights and it has put a stop on my mobility, I can't do much of anything, I can barely get out the house, I can only walk a few step without being tied, it's a struggle to just go to the bathroom. I've been battling this for 5 almost 6 years now and it's getting harder by the day.

Have You Ever Been A 🏆 Trophy Girlfriend Or Wife Then Demoted To An Embarrassment Because You Gained Weight?

A MyObesityTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tallahassee, FL

Meaning that you and your companion started out doing a lot of things together! They would take you out to eat and different places but when you began to gain weight; it started to slow down until it stopped because they were too embarrassed to be seen with you!
