There is nothing safe or 100% sure these days! Everyday we take risks. I took this risk 9yrs ago and yes it has affected my life. I lay here in a hospital bed in pain recovering from a hysterectomy that I had to have because my uterus was so enlarged and the heavy bleeding of my periods monthly. I am like any other woman, who does not want anymore kids, tried all kinds of birth control products, this one being the longest called the Essure has caused me more problems than any. I developed heavy bleeding, pain in the abdominal area, bloating and high blood pressure. My uterus was the size of a 4 month pregnant woman. I first went in knowing that I was gonna get the liproscopal procedure done, but when I came out of recovery I was told my uterus had grown two times larger than before so there was no way to get it out vaginally. I had to get a small belly incision to have the uterus removed which meant a longer recovery. I’m now recovering with God being my strength and my healer. I just wanna thank you Erin Brockovich for hearing my testimony and other woman like me! I wish you luck in all the help you can provide for the women of ESSURE.
