IVC THERAPY

i HAD MY SURGERY AUGUST 2005. I HAD IVC PLACMENT. HAS ANYONE HAD A PROBLEM WITH NEURAPATHY? SINCE 6 MONTHS AFTER SURGERY MY LEGS HAVE BEEN NUMB. MY SURGEON IS RETIRED AND NO-ONE HAS ANSWERS. I TAKE VITAMINS BY THE TON. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD IVC FILTER AND SHOULD WE TAKE ANY ANTICOAGULATION THERAPY? I AM AT A LOSS. I CAN'T EXERCISE AND IT MAKES ME SO UPSET ABOUT MY LEGS. I HAVE GAINED 15 LBS BACK AND DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?

This may be a stupid question, but what is IVC?? I have heard of neuropathy in WLS patients who don't take enough vitamin B-12. Is there a WLS surgeon in your area that you might be able to talk to? I hope you find some answers. Check on the main board too. Someone might have some insight for you there. Take care!
