In less than 9 hrs I'll be in the hospital getting prep'd for surgery! I don't know what I'm feeling right now. Good luck and well wishes to all 9/20 sleevers

Thank you!

Hello everyone, I posted this in the protein section as well but thought more would see it here! Last night I was online searching for protein powders and ran across a few I wanted to share. Firstly for those of you who don't like sweet stuff I ordered Isopure unflavored protein (26 grams of protein per serving) 43.00 for a 3lb tub from vitamin shoppe online. Also while I was searching I ran across the syntrax website and they are having a nectar 2 go sample blowout for this month. You can receive all 14 flavors samples for 15.99! That's a 1.00 per sample and 1.99 for shipping! I purchased these as well because I figured for the price what the heck? Lol. To receive this offer all you have to do is call (866)333-7403 ext 803. Just let them know you want the Nectar 2 go samples for 14.00 you seen on their website!! I hope this helps!

Sorry I'm now just answering your questions, but yes typically the IVC filter is used to help prevent DVT( deep vein thrombosis) and Pulmonary embolisms due to blood clots. Although I had mine placed as an extra precaution as a request from my surgeon, because of my high bmi. My bmi is just under 60. If anyone have any other questions feel free to private message me!

Hello everyone, I am a newbie here! Today (9/18/12) I received my IVC filter. I was so worried about getting this done, but now that I have I can tell you it isn't all that bad. The worst part to me was the numbing meds they gave me in my neck. It burned like crazy. Other than that it was smooth sailing! The filter was inserted within 15 mins and I was wheeled out to recovery about 10 Mins after. I am having surgery on Thursday the 20th! I am super excited now!

Yes, it really is a small world! I was just at the office today also! My surgery is at 10:30 with check in at 8:30! Good luck to you on Thursday! PS who knows we may even bump into each other roaming the halls lol

Wow I am in Frederick as well! Dr. McKenna is also my surgeon, he'll be doin the surgery at FMH

Hello everyone! My surgery date is September 20th as well here in Maryland! I had my pre op appointment today and have lost a total of 11 lbs since starting my liquid diet on the 6th. I am so excited for Thursday! Well wishes and speedy recovery to all! You all are in my prayers as well
