Hi everyone! Thanks so much for all your comments and concerns. I'm writing to update you. On Jan. 24 I had my Mirena removed. My Ob/gyn removed it with laparoscopic surgery. It went well. I still need to investigate about getting this paid for. We did talk to a lawyer because this should not be going on.
I am sore from the surgery but the bleeding has already stopped. The gas pains were horrendous. They inflate your stomach to do the surgery. The gas travels up to your neck, which no one tells you about, so you feel like you have major whiplash.
I totally feel the difference though. No more headaches, mood swings are calming down, still losing some hair, and I'm hoping once the cuts heal I shouldn't feel bloated or any more gas pains. I'll let you know. I will NEVER recommend this.
Oh, yeah, my ob said it was right outside my uterus just sitting there in my abdomen, "Wonderful!!!!" No more, Thank God!
