Fallopian Shmallopian

I had my pre-op appointment this morning for my surgery next week.
It's time to remove the Essure, folks.
You know, I just don't have any real need for it.
After some heavy investigating it turns out that there are a lot of women out there complaining about the product.
Erin Brokovich is even working to get Essure removed from the market.
Sold.
Look, if Julia Roberts thinks Essure is a bad idea, then so do I, people.
Of course I told you this 10 months ago, but I don't know if anyone was listening then.
At my six week post delivery appointment Doc and I discussed the "device removal".
"I want it out."
"I can understand that, it didn't do what it was supposed to."
"Clearly.  What it DID do is sleeping right there. Let's not offend him, though. He's a smart baby."
"I guess I'll have to  do a tubal removal with a sepinjecular acupuntular disjuncular."
"Have you done this before?"
"No."
Great.
"Are you at least going to write down what you just said because you don't have the greatest memory."
"I am going to sit here and write it down when you leave. Yes."
At least he's willing to admit his faults.  This is good progress.
So in layman's terms, I am having my fallopian tubes removed.
Because the coils are in there SOMEWHERE..probably.
And I guess I don't really need my fallopian tubes anymore.  I am not sure what this does to my ovaries..it seems like they'll just be floating out there in space, but I don't really care at this point.  I don't need much in there anymore, so as long as I don't go menopausal, it should be ok.
I will probably go menopausal, won't I?
Right now I don't have the greatest attitude about this surgery. I have put it in God's hands because I DON'T really want to put in Doc's hands. He seems to mess things up...A LOT.  If God could just perform the surgery, things would be a lot better....really..
