Description

Kelly Bell has lymphedema throughout his body, and his excruciating journey to finally get diagnosed rendered him so depressed, he considered suicide. Be inspired by this retired Coast Guard veteran’s story of never giving up. He says, “I lost my life for 12 years but now, I am no longer a bystander. I am fully participating in life.”

One of the tools that have been life-changing for Kelly is the Lympha Press Optimal Plus. He shares a photo with 12 gallons of fluid, representing how much this pump removed from his body!

According to Kelly, “Every person with lymphedema wants their independence.” Thanks to his diet, his Lympha Press, and his amazing support system, Kelly’s life has never been better.

This interview was recorded in December 2020. You can watch the video recording of Kelly's interview on the Lymphedema Channel on YouTube, or on Instagram at @lympha_press.
