Yes, they put it in my neck because I had to stay laying back most of the day after words and i was scared to death when they placed it in my neck...I have a friend that they put hers in her leg..i wish mine had of been put in my leg.

Topic: Anyone from the Gulf Coast area??
Hey yall! I had my RNY on December 30th of this last year 2009. Seven months down and I am at 78lbs lost. Was looking to see if there is anyone on here from the Gulf Coast area who has been through this or just starting to be a support system for each other.


Let me know! :)

Topic: Vena Cava Filter
I am wondering if anyone that has the Vena Cava Filter in their neck has had any problems? I have noticed the past few days when I turn my neck a certain way or cough I will get some odd pain on the left side of my neck about where they went in to put the filter. I am just wondering if it might be that or something else that is making it hurt like that. Any info would be great. Oh and by the way I had it put in 2 years ago before I had my gastric bypass.

Thanks

Topic: RE: food stuck issues....
chew everything well, it has happened to me with hard boiled eggs.    you can take papaya enzyme pills,  it helps you digest stuck foods. just chew a couple of them up and they help digest stuck food particles. They taste ok and you can get them at several health food stores.  If you are in California  you can get them at Trader Joes.
