okay would you like to start by saying what procedure you've just had done yeah do you want to introduce myself, what was the reason it cost and how I came on just speak freely. Can I start? Yes. Hello Bonnie, my name is Sri, I'm a professional pastry chef. I've been working for long, 18 years. Actually if you see a chef's shop, like mostly they are on their feet. So being standing for 18 years, I started to feel my veins started to get a little bit uncomfortable and I've been realizing this one for the last few years but being after getting little bit more uncomfortable then I started to think okay it's time for me to get rid of this one. Then I came to West Middlesex Hospital to check what's happening exactly and the way they explained me is like it's not a big procedure it's a small thing which we can get rid of this one as soon as possible and today was my day of surgery then I came in the morning and completely the hospital staff was very happy to help me out in explaining me the procedures like what is what and when they explained me I just felt a little bit uncomfortable like how I'm going to feel the pain but honestly I just finished my surgery now and I don't even feel like when they were injecting the fluid and then when they're making the warmness I can just felt it little bit but to be honest nothing to really worry about that it's a very very basic simple surgery it's like you don't need to even think as a surgery it's just like a half an hour a bit of rest in the hospital for me that's all I felt personally and even the doctors recommended that after the surgery I am free to walk or do any job the only reason I should not be lying on the bed for a long time because I just want to keep the blood circulation on so which is really good so I'm not going to stay on my bed for a few hours and it's a very very simple basic procedure and the doctors really amazing they didn't even hide anything before the surgery or even after that I just feel much better now it's a little bit of feeling I have that I had a surgery because of maybe it's just I thought I'm a surgery but I don't feel anything completely thank you very much for that
