The Lymphedema Patient Roundtable: July 2024

From GLP-1 drugs and surgical treatments to getting the courage to wear compression garments 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 lymphedema therapists 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.
