Has anyone had success with surgery with out recurrence
I' lost some weight and skinny now. Unfortunately I had varicose veins and had no idea. Caused by inflammation and maybe working long hrs in kitchen high heat. I never knew the extent till I lost 45lbs. I wasn't even overweight. I am 6ft1 I was only 190 at my heaviest. I have no idea what happened. But I went to a vascular surgeon in 2021 and the appointment was so very rushed and found out later why.
He was skipping state in a month and going far away. I was diagnosed with pretty bad reflux and deep reflux in right leg. I was offered evlt and phelebectomy. To which I had no idea what either was until I looked it up and felt uneasy about it and cancelled. I don't have too many issues.i can walk fine I can work long hrs fine I don't have swelling so far. But I hate not being able to wear shorts in summer and having to wear compression.
I guess it's fine and all ..
but I hate the veins. Unfortunately looking up this procedure and people's experiences with it for last 5 years .have left me without much hope. I do not want discomfort while standing still as I do that now long hrs. And that is a pretty extensive occurrence after this procedure. Also risk of nerve damage. Among others. Has anyone had success years later without any issues or recurring veins
