I am afflicted with some really ugly looking spider veins in my legs. Have any of you bandsters noticed that they improve after dropping your weight?

I have one on the outside of my left thigh and the answer is no.

I just recently noticed several large veins- I think the weight loss actually made them more noticable!

My doctor actually warned me in my preop visit that I would have some show up after weight loss. I'm glad he covered everything before I took the plunge. Apparently they are already there but will be more noticeable after you lose weight.

I have a couple really ugly vericose veins. I complained to my doctor years ago and she said they would get better if i lost weight but from ehat you guys are saying that's not ture! Guess I'm going to have to get them removed! Ugh.

I have been seeing spider veins around my ankles and on the outside of my knees. I haven't worn a skirt in so long. I was kind of looking forward to it. When I reach my goal I'll probably be too happy to worry about a few veins.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
