Essure...does anyone have it?



Recommended Posts

I had the ablation done 2 years ago... If you're certain you are done bearing children' date=' I HIGHLY recommend it.... Like the sleeve, I wish I would have done it years ago.....

Do you have to have certain issues to get an ablation or can you just walk into the gyno and say you want it? What was the healing like? I may consider this later after my Essure is healed :)

Well I had my Essure procedure at the hospital this morning. I got home a few hours ago and am doing very well. My experience was night and day from the people who had it in office. I got checked in and set up in my room. The anesthesiologist came in and explained everything to me. They took me to the operating room and the anesthesiologist told me he was giving me medicine to make me a little dizzy. The next thing I know I woke up feeling alert and happy in recovery. Minor cramping that lasted about an hour...nothing bad enough to need meds. Now its mild passing cramps here and there and very little bleeding. I feel relief already knowing that I almost do not have to worry about birth control anymore. Fingers crossed that in 3 months hopefully my tubes will be all closed off :) So to those considering Essure...the hospital under general anesthesia is the easy breezy way to go!

I had my essure done in 2005, it was not bad at all, I was out, got up, had a little cramps and the next day i was walking and shopping, My girlfriend just had it done this year too and she had the same experience. Now I really need an ablation and that sounds terrifying to me...but I have always had such bad periods and now that I am getting older they seem to get even heavier, its so embarrassing, I always have accidents.

I had the Essure procedure in my docs office two years ago. Piece of cake! A little crampy that afternoon, but felt fine the next day. So glad I did it...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
