Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Hi All,

Is chronic venous insufficiency disqualifying?
In my left leg there are many varicose veins.
Doppler USG examination revealed insufficiency of the great saphenous vein
as well as insufficiency of the accessory saphenous vein.
Doctors say the great saphenous vein has to be completely removed.

Do you know whether this surgery (removal of the saphenous veins) is disqualifying?
Anybody of you underwent this kind of surgery?
I'd be very grateful for your help!

Cheers,
Raul
