I have not had the essure procedure myself, however I work in claims and benefits at a private insurance company. With the new Afforable Care Act this procedure, since its considered sterlization and is FDA approved, is a paid benefit. I wanted to share that an insured told me that many women are having problems with Essure and told me about this website. She shared that they have formed their own support group . But I wanted to mention that one the Essure patients actually had one of the coils scrapping a notch in one of her bones. She shared other stories, but this seemed like something to mention and get out there. She also said the coils can just float around in your body and the scans can’t find where the coils went. Of course as a representative for the insurance company, I can’t share this with anyone wanting to get the procedure, but I so wish I could. I would tell them to check out your website. I hope something changes because it just isn’t safe for some women.
