Hey Ladies I can help!!

I had two vein ligations several years ago for varicose veins. One in my left leg and another in my right.

The surgery was done by a vascular specialist. Insurance should cover as long as it isn't for cosmetic reasons you are doing this. I had pain with mine.

I didn't think the surgery or recovery was painful at all. It is more discomfort than pain. They wrap your leg up so tightly. The areas where the veins were removed are fine and my legs look much better and I don't have the pain I had before. You can hardly even see the scars. I have other veins that are surfacing now. Not as bad as before. I recently started taking coral calcium supplements that seem to be helping with these new veins.

There are other treatments out now. I know some can discolor your skin permanantly. Best is to find out what will work for your type of problem and what kind of results you expect in the end. Yes, wait till you are done with having a family because pregnancy makes them worse.
