Varicose veins/my dinosaurs

Does anyone else have varicose veins? This is the worst they’ve looked, but I’ve never paid much mind to them. I thought all fat people had them and I’m fat so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I always just called the one my dinosaur because it looked like a Stegosaurus. My mom asked me to please have them looked at because her biological mom had to have hers stripped. So I went in and of course she was right. I thought my legs just ached and got sore because I’m always on them. I don’t sit still well and I walk a lot. Turns out multiple deeper veins are not working which is causing a bunch of issues. It must be worse than I thought because they said insurance approved the surgery IMMEDIATELY. Thought just one leg, but it turns out both legs are bad just one is worse. Who knew they could literally glue veins shut?!?

So if your veins look like mine and you think nothing of it go see your dr, there might be more to it.
