getting nervous,
would love to hear from others
You will be fine, I had both mine stripped 4 weeks ago and I'm very pleased with them, what you having done
I had mine under local anaesthetic VNUS Closure. I could have driven home, although I did not, but I did drive the following day. I was swimming again the following week.
Good luck, I am sure it will be fine.
Thank you
Thank you for the encouragement.☺️
What procedure are you having done? My ablation was done by laser to remove my ill-functioning saphenous vein on my left leg.
There were shots given to numb the area, and then the laser was used to eliminate the vein as a wand like instrument entered through a small incision. I felt a warm feeling that was not at all unpleasant. The procedure took about a half hour. A compression stocking was put on, I got dressed and walked out the door. My husband and I went to breakfast after that at IHOP!
Don't worry!😊
Mine was similar only using radio frequency rather than laser. As well as the saphenous vein being removed I had some wiggly ones removed as well.
My doctor suggested spider vein removal several weeks after my ablation. I went with it, and my legs DID look better than usual on our family trip to Daytona Beach, Florida several months later.😊
HOWEVER, not even a year later, I had NEW spider veins!😲 Five years later my legs definitely DO NOT look like the ones belonging to those ladies on vein commercials!😱😵😎 That's OK. I have pretty ugly-shaped legs anyway!😁
What I care about is being done with my painful knees. Also, by getting that stupid saphenous vein gone I feel like I did good at preventing a potential problem that COULD turn nasty if ignored.
Are you doing well with your legs?
My thigh is a bit wavy since the op. Otherwise everything is fine.
My operation was postponed, but I am not nervous anymore. ( for next
time) thanks so much!
Sorry to hear that your operation was postponed, but very glad to hear that you aren't all nervous about it anymore!🙌😁😊🙌 Be sure to let us know how things go!
