The July 2024 Lymphedema Patient Roundtable, Hosted by

From GLP-1 drugs and surgical treatments to getting the courage to wear #CompressionGarments in public, it was conversational fireworks at the July #Lymphedema Patient Roundtable! The panel was joined by special guest Dave DiBacco, whose near-decade of experience with Lympha Press has made him a wealth of information on the devices and insurance.
Can a compression pump help venous insufficiency? How often should one pump? And is there such a thing as pumping too much? Dave and #LymphedemaTherapists Karen Ashforth and Nasreen Starner shared their insights on these questions and more.
Then, in what's quickly become a much-loved tradition, Karen led the group in a relaxing exercise to close the evening.

Thanks for this conference. I do have one comment for clarity of the guests who spoke. The guest Catherine spoke very quickly and used a number of acronyms and jargon. This made her very difficult to understand. I hope on the next one you will consider asking guests to break down lingo and explain. We who are new to this diagnosis, are easily lost. Thanks to all guests for their openness and transparency.
