Filters

Hello beautiful people!

I'm in the process of getting approved for surgery (praying my stuff is sent off this week), and I remember when I met with the surgeon, he said that he may implant a filter near my pelvic area because my feet tend to get swollen.

I was wondering if anyone had this told to them, and if you got the filter how it felt.

I never even considered having to have anything else done.

Please let me know!
TIA

Hi Jabreel!

I'll have to let someone else tell you about what these feel like, but I do know that they have saved several folks from BAD complications. I know it's something I'd ask for if my doc did not recommend it.

i just had a ivc filter put in on the 12th of this month it is to help with blood clots and they whent in my neck to put it in and they did not put me to sleep it dont take long but you feel all what they are doing.

Due to my size my doc had a filter put in that was feb of 08  and i still have it there.
In Marchof 08 i passed a clot and the filter saved me and i keep it in case i need any surgery..
It did not hurt and i do not know its there..\
good luck
