Trivex is A+
My varicose veins in both legs were about a 9.5 out of 10. My doctor said that mine were about the second or third worse that he had ever seen. They ran from my toes to my groin. My largest bulging veins were about as thick as one of your fingers. I had had them since age 15.
While Trivex surgery for the average patient will probably last less than an hour, my surgery to do both legs took up to three hours. For one, I had to have the large saphenous vein in each leg severed and tied off at my groin. Plus, I had enough varicose veins to start a medical supply company. However, I was back home from the hospital in Tucson less than two hours after the surgery.
The following morning at 6 a.m. I walked almost two miles to pick up my car that I had left by the U. of Arizona campus. Because I had such awful and large veins, I did have some pain walking the first week unless I was wearing compression stocks (Jobst makes excellent stockings now and they can be bought at a discount over the Internet without a prescription - although my doctor had given me a prescription). I had my surgery four weeks ago and am supposed to wear the 30-40 mg compression stocks during the day for two more weeks or so.
I have to massage my legs daily to work over the fibrous stuff that filled in the spaces where the veins were removed. This will probably take another month or so to do as the material is slowly absorbed into my tissue. I also had large areas of bruising - meaning that the skin just become purplish (black and blue) - however that has all faded away.
In all, I have three or four or perhaps five itsy bitsy incisions in each leg less than one-quarter of an inch long that are nicely healing and will not be perceptible soon. (I also have about a one-inch incision on each leg in groin area where saphenous vein had to be cut - they too are healing nicely).
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Trivex to anyone who is tired of their veins - NO one will will ever know that you ever had varicose veins after you have had them done). You will be so glad you did it. Of course, results to some extent probably depend on the skill of the surgeon - my surgeon was excellent A+ as far as I can tell - of course, I was out cold during the surgery so that's only an opinion).
I would be willing to talk more about my experience -send me an email and I will send you my phone number where you can call me in Tucson AZ.
No, this is not a fake testimonial - I self-paid for the surgery and have my medical bills to prove it.
