baileyj908 37 Posted November 15, 2015 My sleeve surgery is scheduled for December 18th (pending insurance approval). On December 10th I have my IVC filter placement surgery. Was wondering how many people have had the IVC filter placed. Not really sure what to expect... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
