AndyNicks 3 Posted July 27, 2016 Did anyone on here have to have the filter inserted before surgery? I had mine put in a few days before surgery and tomorrow is the day it's scheduled to come out. They kind of put me half under when they inserted it (because I drove myself) so I was cold (to say the least) when I was on that table and they were sliding it in. Ouch! Tomorrow they are knocking me out completely for the removal - thankfully. I'm told it's a fairy quick procedure. Home in a few hours when it's all said and done hopefully. Has anyone else gone through the filter process? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
