I tried talking to my doctor about having a tubal ligation done before I gave birth to my last child in April 2008. I was 32 years old and each pregnancy was harder than the last. He would just say ‘We will talk about it at your 6 week check-up. Finally at the 6 week check up, he brought up the essure procedure. I was told I could have it done right away, no surgery, no hospital, etc. I would have to wait awhile if I wanted to have the tubal and would have to go to the hospital for surgery. I choose the essure. He gave me a pill (I believe it was Valium) to take before the procedure was done. I have had migraines, excessive bleeding, surgery (oblation and hysterectomy), weight gain, pain and major depression since having the essure. Jan 20, 2016 I had the hysterectomy due to having 2 tumors (1 over 900 grams) growing in my uterus which wasn’t there before the essure. This company and the doctors should be ashamed of taking advantage of women to make money.
