Hello, I had my essure put in on 11-10-09 acouple months after having my 4th child. I was healthy as could be until after essure was done, some time afterwards i started having really horrible lower stmoach pains after eating certain foods which i’d never had a problem with before essure. Three years later they just got worse in 2013 i finally had enough well doctor after doctor trying to figure what in the world was going on and yes spealist too but nothing. Finally before giving up i went to an allergy doctor and learned that foods i use to love to eat before essure , i can no longer eat because of essure doing whatever it did to me. Im allergic to some many foods its unreal. im talking about up all night in servere pain. I also learn there’s nothing i can do for it but just not eat the foods. And the list of stuff i muct avoid is so long its almost too difficult not to eat what i shouldn’t. Another thing was the weight gain i do not eat awhole lot never did, i weighed a 161 lbs. my family was in shock saying theres no way you weigh that much, people in town would as me if i was gonna have another baby because thats the way it looked. I finally went and found a doctor to do a hysterectomy that i could be done with those coils once and for all. A month after my surgery which i had 09-06-14 i weighed myself my weight is 130 lbs and is staying there for once. There are so many other problems i’ve had with essure also , i could go on all day about it. But i have 4 kids to rise and no time, just like no time to deal with food allergies. Something needs to be done about this. my doctor whom put them in also told me all thse great things about essure. seems like all the doctors blow essure up to all women saying how great they are. Anyways this is part of my story, hope it helps
