AZDeeJanuary 3, 2014
Before having my lower body lift my Plastic Surgeon wanted me to have my veins taken care of so this next week I am going to a clinic to have them checked and to have vein ablation done. These are secondary veins that have exploded due to the main veins being stripped some 20 years earlier. Turns out when you have that done most likely the secondary veins end up bulging. So I am excited, the thought that some day I will have legs that can be seen is exciting. Never in my adult life have I worn shorts or showed my legs. I will take pictures and update after my apt,

First treament today

I have my first set of injections, not sure what they are injecting, the Dr. said it was a "detergent of sorts" he said he doesn't use saline, as he doesn't like the results. If this doesn't cause the veins to go down then we have to do the laser rod treatment...so hoping this works...He did the left leg and we will wait 2 weeks and on Jan 24 I will have my other leg done...I have a gauze bandage on my entire leg and then tomorrow I will start wearing the support hose...They look like granny hose....lol

Having to wear a skirt
AZDeeFebruary 8, 2014
Oh no...these granny hose are so tight they push all my gushy skin to the top of my thighs and they spill over the hose. Not a good look and even worse with pants on! So for the next several weeks I will have to hide them in skirts...ugh Can't wait to get rid of this extra skin!!!!

I know what you mean! I bought a couple of pairs of support stockings in case my PS won't put me in a full body compression garment right away. I went by the measurements and the thigh fat and skin over the top was SO gross! I ended up ordering two sizes larger just to avoid the fat fluffing over the tops of them. I figured with lipo and thigh lift surgery, I really don't want any bulges on them, but hopefully they'll still give me enough compression. Can you wear spanx over the stockings? Wonder if that would smooth out the bulge enough to wear pants. Man, the indignities we go through! lol.. Take care! Still hoping to get a couple hours next week to meet up with you somewhere.

I was wondering that too about the spanx. Right now I am just wearing skirts to hide it. At this point I don't see any change, I think I am going to need to have them burned out...The surgeon said one way or another he is going to get rid of them...
