Thinking about getting the Essure Procedure done. My husband has said he would talk to a urologist, but he's been saying that for over a year (what is up with guys?). Anyway, I'm just wondering what the recovery is like. I've had 2 c-sections, but this should be so much easier, right?
I had Essure done and my insurance covered it. I had no anesthesia - just took some Advil before the procedure. The whole procedure was like 15 minutes. I walked out of the room, walked to my car and drove home. The rest of the day I had some cramping like I was on my period.
My DH faints at the sight of needles and would faint at the thought of a knife anywhere near his parts. I knew it was not something he could do, so I did it.
Yup never had c-section had 4 natural births & nothing like that at all.Had mine in August I had it done in a surgical setting w/ anestesia (spelling incorrect)why is because my gyno/urologist doesn't have the capabilities to do them in house nor will she ever she prefers to be in a sterile environment with better equipment it is a simple procedure but can of course have a complcations while placement.My total cost I was surpried to see but totaled $25,000 yes you read that correctly I had to make sure this was correct myself.It is out patient
This was covered 100% I didn't pay a dime out of pocket had already meet all my dedutibles
Essure costs over $5000 (last time I checked) and a vasectomy costs between $350 - $1000. The recovery time for a V is about a day and a half of minor soreness. There are not even stitches, not one. Essure is surgery with anesthesia. I would make the appointment for him, just sayin'...
My hubby was like that, also, many years ago... he said that "he" would do the procedure.....
but he kept putting off getting an appointment, time after time..... then, one month after I was sweating it out, waiting for my period, I finally talked to him, and he was wimping out on me! So... I made the appointment, and a week or so later, I got my tubes tied (this was before Essure...) ..... it cost us 3 times as much, but I never brought that up....
Guys are wimps! Face it..... they aren't used to having their nether regions man-handled, and are scared of pain.....
What the heck would happen if THEY were the ones that had to give birth? I have a feeling the human race would quickly die out.
I'm sorry I have no experience with Essure, but surely it wouldn't be near as tough as a c-section. Having my tubes tied was a pretty easy procedure, but I was sore afterward, since the expand the abdomen with a gas..... I really don't remember much about it, since it was done probably 12-15 years ago.
Good luck!
Best decision.
Easiest procedure ever.
It's like a PAP smear that takes a long time. You get drugs to relax you, but you are awake. It was so simple.
I'm not sure what Sue W. is talking about. She clearly did not have the procedure. It was covered by insurance and you are awake the whole time.
