Topic: RE: IVC
Congratulations and good luck on you surgery. Mine is December 3. Its getting close for both of us!!!
As for the IVC filter...It is a fairly easy procedure. Now I have not had one myself but had been involved in the placement of these filters for many years. I operated the X-ray machine while the Dr placed the filter. The Dr will thread a catheter into your femoral vein and deploys the filter when the placement is correct. The device is used to help prevent a Pulmonary embolism. I hoped this helped.

Topic: IVC
Got my surgery date scheduled Dec 7 VSG but need to get an IVC filter inserted on the 29th....so whats that process? I think I'm more nervous of the IVC filter than the actual surgery. What was your experience with that. I've heard experiences with surgery but not the Pre-op procedures.

Hi everyone! I just stumbled across the local board on here and I'm glad I did. I am a December VSG hopeful. All information has been submitted to UHC (choice plus) and I am waiting to hear back. I hope to have my VSG done with Dr. Fang, I think he's the best guy for the job! I live in North Phoenix, I am a SAHM and I'm looking forward to starting a new healthier lifestyle!
