@babsbr - Thank you for your update. Super awesome :partying_face: that your symptoms have nearly completely resolved in 5 weeks!! Having less endurance than usual is normal, as you noted. That will go away just like your symptoms have.

I’m glad you included the pictures - which are worth a thousand words - as it’s said! What a mess you had in your neck & what a big, plump beautiful IJV you ended up with once all the “bad guys” were removed! Your incision looks great for being only 5 weeks old! The silicone scar gel you’re using is working wonders! I hope your second surgery gets rid of anything that remains & is slowing you down. :sparkling_heart:

I’m so pleased that this surgery has been successful for you! Great that you’re seeing symptoms improved so quickly & are feeling well enough to get back to exercising
 really interesting to see the compressions & the freed IJV. Hopefully the second surgery will be successful too, let us know when you do get a date!
