I now only have a period every 3-6 months. And it is much lighter. I also had my tubes tied in 1999 so my Mirena is for bleeding not birth control.

I got my Mirena in January of 2007 for heavy bleeding. I had my surgery in September 2008. I have not had any problems with it. You can have your provider check the strings at the time of your annual or do it yourself. You have to reach up there towards your cervix. The easiest time to check is when you are in the shower. Sometimes it is possible for your partner to feel a little poke if the strings are too long. The strings are easily shortened. Hope this helps.

I started counting from when I started the opti-fast diet 1 week before surgery.

I am so glad you have updated us. I was wondering whatever happened. I am glad you are healing.... although slowly. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

I am sometimes sore in the port area. Sometimes it feels like my port is shoved into my ribs, it is all in the positioning!

I can eat pasta alot easier then pizza..... last night 2 bites of pizza and up it came.

Hello, I am hypothyroid due to having my thyroid removed in 2002. I had my LB surgery in September. I had my 6 month labs done and I my levels are still great. I take 50mcg of levothyroid. I have lost 45 pounds so far. Unfortunately I will never be able to come off these meds. Good luck.

Yes I would do it again, even with the complications.

I have a salad once a day and it goes down fine.

I get the GNC blue rasberry and fruit punch. They are very tart tasting. It says on the container to refridgerate after opening.

I guess I should be thankful mine were little......... and still are!

I had my first fill at 4 weeks, my second at 5 weeks. I was told it depended on if I felt I wasn't getting restriction or not. Good luck.

My port flipped after a hard time getting filled. My port felt flatter then usual. When I had it removed and put back in 10 days later due to an infection, my doctor confirmed it had indeed flipped. All is well now.

I am 4 months out and my already thin hair is thinning on the top. Not too bad yet, but I am confident it will grow back.

I have a Mirena and surgery was no problem! Good Luck.
