I had them for a few years pre transplant and went every 6 months to have them checked. I won't lie its not a nice experience but its worth it not to have one burst. I had 3 lots of banding of varicies, it leaves you tender for a few days but it goes. Hope this helps x

I had a gastroscopy as they were suspected, but I was given the all clear. The gastroscopy is very quick and painless although a little uncomfortable. Well worth the test to discount this problem.
