Hi All - I have read a little about wrapping my arm right after surgery? Is this a 'good' or recommended prevention technique? When I asked the NP in the surgeons office I felt like I got the brush off - and wonder if they simply don't know how to do it . . .

Other quesitons -

what are the trusted cerifications for a lymphedema specialist? Shockingly the major hospital that has a great cancer center do not have anyone trained and I want to make sure as I research in this area I know what to look for.

DO folks advocate wearing compression sleeves for prevention?
