Hi Andrew,
The found in a test at the end of june 2004 Varicose.
I got operated in 22 july 2004 (10 days ago) and now I'm recoverd.
Let me tell ya... what I did...
Don't read about it, just do it!!! The mental thing is worst! I'm VERY happy now!!!
25 minutes operation, you can go home the same day. Prepare the bed/couch and let yourself spoiled by your partner or family.
A piece of cake... JUST DO IT!!!!!!
(If you did it 2 years ago, you wouldn't have to suffer mentally 2 years)
