Finnally I have been waiting for this day. But I was stunned to find out I am going to have a IVG filter. think that is what its called. I have no history of blood clots but due to my BMI I have to have one. So that scared me some.

So now I am really trying to watch what I eat so I can lose some weight to make the surgery easier for me. So far 3 days not wanting to kill anyone yet,lol

So now the plan is 2 Nut visit down one to go and my psych consult then they can send in for approval.

Good luck! I also had an IVC filter placed thru the neck. It really is no big deal. They give you something to twilight you and then something to deaden the area.

Laugh Often. Regret Nothing! Surgery date 7/18/11
