I had this done when it was a fairly new method of BC I got this being told it was a safer and less invasive form of birth control. It has caused me nothing but grief. I began to notice swelling and bloating after the surgery. Thinking it would stop it did not. I began to gain weight without any changes in my diet or exersise. Sex was not the same for me or my partner. I never had any discomfort or pain prior to the essure. My periods are not right. Many other side effects Im not ready to share. It has effected my marriage. I kept telling myself it was not the procedure that caused so many problems and felt like I could not discuss it with anyone. I did so much research before getting this done but found all of it to be positive and made all of the side effects seem minimal. I wish I could go back change my descision. I want to have them removed. Im scared not knowing if it will reverse the damage it has done to me. I hope others will not get this done.
