Mornin folks....  Looking for experiences, insight, etc from folks who have had sclerotherapy with Dr. Thompson in Boston. 

What did the procedure feel like?  Light sedation - hmmm - you were awake?  Not afraid?  No pain? 

Post-op day 1, day 2, and so on... 

Weight loss input/trends.....

am also interested in folks' stories who had the procedure a while ago (like 2009....)  How are you doing now? 

Thanks for anyone that is inclined to provide input based upon experience.  I appreciate it.  My procedure is in one month and I want to be prepared.  Am tremendously anxious to get back to the business of being healthy and on track again.

I went to a surgeon who was a pioneer with schlerotherapy; recommended as having done the most on WLS post-ops.  She said she'd do it for me but she said of her many patient's, she had only seen 2 who had decent results.  She said those 2 patient's were back in a year for additional treatments (it usually takes up to 6 treatments).  Insurance doesn't cover it.  It's pricey for a risk.

Good luck!
