Ask your GYN about ablation procedure. Fixed my heavy periods. I don't have them anymore. Should hit the big M before they come back. As long as you are done birthin babies and you have heavy periods' date=' your doc will probalby do it.

Best thing I did in my 40's.

Sleeve is best thing I have done thus far in my 50's![/quote']

This is what my gyno wants me to do. The only reason I take bc pills is to help with my heavy periods. Too bad I can't have both surgeries done at the same time.

I had an ablation ... it's awesome and did not hurt. It doesn't work on everyone though. You should at least have light periods if not zero periods. I did end up with light spotting for about six weeks from christmas to mid-feb. But it had been a year of nothing prior and nothing since so far. I was told to expect menstrual changes for the better now so hopefully it will just stay away!

You are never to young to tie your tubes unless you are 15? I am a labor and delivery RN. As long as you sign the paperwork 3o days before the procedure you should be ok. If you feel like you are done and I mean done have them tied. If you feel like?? Well..... Then get an IUD. But the idea now a days is that you can be to you g especially if you already have over3 kids and you are under 25

Lol, I mean personally I feel I'm too young to make a permanent decision. I'm 23 with 2 kids. My husband is 28 and We feel that we are done having kids, but during my last csection I was given the option and just didn't want to do it.

Ok' date=' totally a tmi question, so you don't have to answer lol, but does your significant other feel it?[/quote']

No not at all...they say at first they may be able to feel the strings but mine were cut short..but if yours does feel it they soften up over time.

It is so easy. The whole procedure takes less than 5 minutes. They basically burn via several ways your uterine lining. You will have cramps that night. They will give you meds for it and the next day you will feel fine.

I was having periods that lasted 8-9 days. Have a week or so off and then start over again.

It has made such a positive impact in my life. Not only are the cramps mostly gone, they used to double me over. Most of the PMS symptoms are gone too.

I had the same problem with cramping. Now, with the Mirena, my cramping is gone. It is hormone releasing so my PMS is completely regulated (you'd have to ask my husband if it is gone, but I assure you he is too intelligent to say anything but yes) and my bleeding is minimal. If I have a period, it's one wipe of a very light pink and it's gone.

I love love love my Mirena. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I had an endometrial ablasion last year and am so glad my GYN suggested it. I had super heavy periods - just miserable for 2-3 days. Now, they are nothing but a thing and some people don't even have then after the procedure. I didn't think it hurt at all and I was back to my normal activity within a day. If you are done with child bearing and suffer from heavy periods, it's the way to go!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
