Update on me! X-post
This week on Monday, I had vericose vein closure with ligation. The procedure went really well, but the doc had to make an incision that wasn't planned at the top of my thigh. I have to wear compression hose and the hose are rubbing against the incision so it's still pretty painful. On a really positive note, I have never been able to get the full benefit of compression hose as my thighs were always too big and the hose rolled down all the time. I am in a pair of XL hose now and they go all the way to the top of my thighs and don't roll down at all. That was a WOW moment! So, my legs are pretty badly bruised right now and really achy, but I think it's going to be so much better for me when all the bruising and achiness goes away. My legs have always bothered me and since I have lost weight, the veins were sticking out even further and getting hit more often, so the pain was worse for awhile. I am so excited to have had the chance to fix my body that has been so badly damaged for all these years. I plan to now maintain it in pristine condition for the 2nd half (best half) of my life!'
I have been stuck at 102 lbs weight loss for along time now and feel it's time to kick it in gear again! I know I can do this! I have come so far and don't plan on stopping now!

Your progress has been amazing. Glad to hear your procedure was succesful. I won't even pretend to understand what it was, lol.

Great going, Kathy! I have an appt next week to talk to my Dr. about laser varicose surgery sometime in December. Hope your recovery goes well! Good luck with continued weight loss!
