Hi Everyone! 

Todays procedure was sooOOoo spontaneous with Asclera for Spider veins.

I went in for BOTOX for my frown between my eyebrows.  This place was a plastic
surgery place so I talked to the doctor about my eyes( the bags)  Also I brought up
my breasts and sure enough they sent that doctor in. She looked at my breasts and
suggested a lift and augmentation with salen implants.  $7300 for both. I know I have
to get a few more opinions on this.  Also, I want to get to goal weight before i do this.
Ok 3 months or Goal....which ever is first... lol (we will see)

Then I talked about my spider veins.  If it werent for the receptionist showing me her
legs ( AWESOME)  and then her before pics, I wouldnt have jumped on it. The Doctor is the best in the south bay ( could have been a sales pitch)  and only goes to that clinic once a month.
Yes another doctor ( 3 )  and, she is all over the place.  She was called in. Anyhow, I had the
procedure done. Yep I went out and bought compression panty hose because I dont
trust the cute thigh highs thigh highs compressions because  they may roll down. 
Hate that!

I missed my BSG tonight because I am in bed with my legs elevated.  Nope I didnt know
I cant take a shower....bummer.  I can tomorrow night, but who would have known.
yessssssssssssss I took a good sponge bath...lol  but I had to have my legs elevated so
I had to skip the BSG group tonight.  I totally feel weird and never miss a meeting.

Its hard to believe this procedure is going to work.
Has anyone else had this procedure and if so, did it work?

Here are my before photos:






These are my before photos...  I will keep you all posted with the after or during.
They said I may need 3 prodecures.  Yuck   I hate showing you all these photos...
but I have to do it in order to recover my head.... :o)


The NSV about this is that I am at a weight where I can get this done now.  I hope I hope
this works!!!!!!   The tape is killing my legs when I bend them.  I also have allergies to the
stickiness is bandaids and tape.  I hope I can get through work tomorrow.

Yikes does it hurt? I have some spider veins but really bad vericose veins that I want stripped when all my weight is gone.

When I went to the Doctor for vericose veins to see if my insurance covers it, he told me
that my insurance doesnt cover spider veins.  This was so unexpected. No it doesnt hurt.
What hurts is the bandages because I am allergic to tape and the stickiness in bandaids.
however because i have to bend my leg from behind and this is like super tape, it hurts just
to bend my leg due to the tape.  i cannot wait to take it off tomorrow night.  tomorrow I have to work so all the rubbing with the tape is going to kill me... yikekeeees

Did you insurance cover this?

DrHollywood
on 10/26/11 12:51 am - Harbor City, CA
No Self Pay because they said its spider veins not vericose veins.
My insurance would have covered it had it been under the cadegory vericose.
bummer!!!
