I had the Essure implant about 5 years ago. Thought it was the best thing until I started to have very heavy menstral periods. I would not last a half hour without having to change everything. I am only 40 years old and now with that going on I have also have gained 65 lbs in that time. I have been on diets and excercise and just can’t sheed it. I never understoody how I could have gained this much weight in such a short time and with what I eat. I finally had a Dr. that questioned my birthcontrol and when I told her that I had Essure she put it all together along with all the migrains I have been getting. I am now on medication the rest of my life due to the migrains and the weight just keeps climbing. All I can do is do what I have been doing and keep eating healthy and exercise andenjoy my family.
