Nana1222 159 Posted September 29, 2016 Hi, did any of you have a Vena Cava filter out in before surgery? If so what is it like and where do they put it? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtellechea001 87 Posted September 30, 2016 It's a filter that sits in your inferior vena cava and it catches any blood clots your body my develop from your legs. It's a precautionary thing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
