Thank You

Hi all! Thank you to everyone who posted good wishes and prayers for me before my IVC filter insertion Friday. I'm feeling fine... just a little tired and my arm is still a little sore where the IV was, not to mention purple, green, etc. If you want more details about my experience, see my reply to Lydia Smith's post of 12/10 titled "Optifast Diet". In her post she asked about the filter, so I posted a long detailed reply to her... too long to repeat here. Thanks again, Debby

Hi Debby I read your detailed about this and could not believe the people are not familiar with this. It will make me more nervous but you are brave and more clamer and tried to explain to them about WLS and need this before your surgery. I will come and visit you at hospital on Dec 29th. I am praying for your surgery and speedy recover! Hugs Kathy k

Hi Debby Glad you are feeling better...and thanks for our long phone conversation the other day. We sure are a couple of chatterboxes! We have a wealth of information from our experiences and each of this is an expert in our own right! Hugs Joanie

Hi Debby, I just read your post to Lydia and am very impressed with your knowledge of the procedure you were having done, and your assertivness in conveying that information to the medical professionals. I am glad everything went well and now you are assured of a much safer surgery. My prayers will be with you. Sandy

Hi Debby! I am so happy that you are home and doing ok. You are almost there!!!! I'm so very proud of you - you are almost at the home stretch my friend!! Love, Tammy

Debby, Thanks for sharing your experience with us. It is a great lesson to ask questions and speak up if you know something is not right. It is so easy to just assume they know what they are doing and then mistakes happen. I am glad you are recovering well! Carmen
