Ok guys, Tell me the truth. Does the scope and the filter hurt being put in? I am sorta a weenie and like to know what to expect ahead of time so please don't sugar coat it. Sue 266/?/140

You'll be asleep for the scope and the filter is a piece of cake. The only pain I really felt during my whole process was when the would take a piece of tape off.

Sue, I didn't have a Vena Cava Filter but I did have an EGD. It was a piece of cake. I had to be at the hospital at 10:00 and I was on my way home at noon. I was all stressed about having the EGD, but on the way home I thought I sure was being silly...it was nothing to it. Good luck, Michelle H.
