Hi Blueshift - have you done a site search? While you are waiting, you could use the search facility (magnifying glass icon to right of this page) - just put LVA into the box then hit return, all the previous posts about it will come up.

They are excellent however before any surgery you need to have a pre assessment including an ICG Lymphography scan to determine suitability for LVA surgery

There is an outstanding team at the Oxford Lymphoedema Clinic. Just Google them for details. Private care only, and, as far as I know, not funded by BUPA. Good luck.

And remember to arrange post care treatment as well. I.e. MLD, IPC or DOT do that your money won’t go to waste... Good luck 👍🏽
