I had the procedure done about 3 yrs ago. During my follow up appointment after the implants they indicated that the implant was not sitting in the proper place and therefore was ineffective. As a secondary procedure I had minor surgery to remove my tubes all together to prevent and future issues. So even though this procedure should have been less invasive in retro spec I had to go thru minor surgery after to fix the problem it created. So unfortunately I was out of work for a few days again for the secondary procedure. Luckily my OB was very skilled in getting the surgery done thru my belly button otherwise they would have needed to slice me open to remove the tubs. YUCK!
