thanks guys, I have no pain at all, just a little bit of bruising.  I just took off the bandages and had a shower, the good news is I do see some results already.
 
A friend of mine in NY sent me a link to the place in NY she has gotten her legs done at, although she was lucky and did not need the procedure I had yesterday.  I found a video on that site that shows what  I had yesterday, I could only watch a little of it, I found out they use a hook to pull the vein out, looks sort of like a crochet hook

   I do think if I ever have to do this again I will be looking into some form of anesthesia 
you can read about the procedure here, but only look at the video if slightly gory medical stuff does not bother you.
