I saw all the negative posts in here and I thought that some may find another perspective useful. I had the Essure procedure done in August 2007. I was put completely under for the procedure, since there is less risk of a mistake that way. The procedure went like a dream for me, I had less pain after than I do during a normal period (so the drugs definitely helped!) and only spotted the day of the surgery. By the next day I had stopped bleeding and was only a little sore. The second day after surgery I was running around like nothing had happened. Three months later I had my dye test done. It was uncomfortable, I felt some pressure, but it wasn't as bad as a normal period. When they stopped pushing the dye into me it was immedately better. After about 30 mins I felt normal.
I have had no change in periods, and no pain. I have not gotten pregnant nor have I had to use birth control. I have been in a committed relationship this whole time, so the Essure has definitely worked for me, otherwise I would have gotten pregnant a few times over.
I'm sorry that so many of the women in this forum seem to have had problems with the procedure, but that doesn't mean the product doesn't work for everyone. I believe that the success of the surgery depends on the skill and experience of the doctor and the technique used. I live in South Carolina, so if anyone would like my doctor's name they can contact me through the email on my profile.
I have been extremely happy with my results.
