Anyone get the IVC filter before being banded?

I am going in tomorrow to have an IVC filter done before surgery on Tuesday. It sounds painful, and I am not looking forward to it, but it might help if someone else has had it done and could tell me that it is no big deal. :)

    I do not have an IVC but I am a RN and I have taken care of many patients post op from getting an IVC. It is a pretty simple procedure and most patients have no complaints after wards. Best of luck to you. IVC's are great things!! Laura

    Thanks Ilyn

    What a timely reply. I am putting my shoes on right now and getting ready to leave. It just sounded awful to me when I read about it, so I was a little worried, and nobody I have talked to knows anything about it.

    Well.......Here goes!

    :)
