My name is Debbie, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the group and looking forward to hearing about other people's journeys, good and bad. Three years ago I had an unexplained pulmonary embolism in my lung. The doctors don't know where it came from or why, I only had the one clot. Long story short, because of that my doctor wants me to have an IVC Filter implanted before my Sleeve Gastrectomy. I am very nervous because now I'm having two procedures instead of one. Has anyone else had this procedure done? Any information or advise would be awesome
