I was one of the first patients to have this procedure done outside a hospital. I know this because 2 other women and myself were asked to speak about it at a Gyno convention in Chicago. All expenses paid by the developer. I had only great things to say at the time but now I am not so sure. The procedure was done without being put under but slighty drugged. I was back at work the next day. Problem; # 1 I started having severe anxiety disorder that lead to my job of 23 years as a bank manager to end in June 2010. I had some problems with anxiety about 6 months after my first child was born in 1989 but didn’t need meds and was okay. But around 2005-2008 I started sufferimg horrible anxiety and depression. By 2010 I lost my job because I could no longer handle the anxiety. Problem 2; menopause. It has been painful in the area where the springs were inserted. Terrible pain and now that my periods have stopped I am on the highest amount of anti-depressants I can take and still have awful anxiety. I feel like I’ve lost the person I was . I asked my current Gyno if this procedure could be causing all these problems now and he replied it’s hard to tell; you are probably one of the first generation of this procedure to deal with menopause. I don’t know if Essure has caused all this but I do wonder
