Buh Bye Varicose Veins!!!!

Hello a.f's!!!
Im so excited to share that I had my varicose veins zapped last
Thursday and I'm so excited. Does anyone remember the poster about 6
mos ago who said people with vveins shouldn't wear shorts because it's
so offensive? This started me on my quest, and the journey is over,
phew! I was upset by the post, but it mobilized me for change
remembering my mom having them her whole life.
I had them in my left calf– green and purple bumps, visible even with
dark stockings becuase they were so raised. I went on my insurance
website and went to the Vascular Institue of the Rockies without a
referral for an ultrasound. Then I called insur's customer service
they said v veins aren't covered. Happily, the Dr.s office has a full
time woman whose sole purpose is to get coverage, so Thurs morning I
went for the procedure called RF Closure. They use a catheter to
pulse electricity thru the vein, collapsing it, adn then remove them
thru small stab like incisions. I have about 8 of these up my calf,
plus a 3/4 inch incision near the achilles tendon. Best of all, no
green and purple bumps!! I love modern medicine! I had anesthesia,
which made me nervous, but I was completely out for 2 3/4 hours. They
said I would be talking to the Drs. but not remember anything. Weird.
I find out tomorw if I actually did have any conversations at the
follow–up lol. I feel great, went to yoga today and only tood one
vicodan Thurs nite cuz it was there.
I feel better prepared to greet 40 this December somehow! Now if I
can just lose 20....
Feel free to email me with any questions.
Cheers,
Moe

good for you for doing something about them. my mom suffered with them as well
and i consider myself lucky to have not followed in her footsteps (yet).
