Varicose veins, increase in pain since WLS 4 mos ago...ideas why?

Thank you so much for this reply.  I appreciate this explanation along with Val's.  It makes sense to me.  I also appreciate hearing your story.  I am glad you made it through that time so many years ago.  I am sorry you continue to have pain.  There are no perfect roads, are there?  :-)

How are your veins treating you now?  My legs hurt so much after I lost the weight that I went to have them checked and found that they major veins in my legs are not working and just had one zapped - I go back 3 more times - then I wait for while to see if more is needed.

It sounds that your issue is more involved, but I don't think they bothered me as much before the weight loss - don't know if it is that I expect to fell better and full of energy and I wasn't or if I really hurt more.

That and plantar facisitis are priority one and I will stay track concerning my eating and I will do as much exercise as recommended (although my vein work does not seem to impeed exercise)\

I hope you have a rapid recovery,
