Just an update about how things are going Post-Mirena removal.  Here are some changes I’ve noticed in a week and a half:

• No longer constipated – it had gotten PRETTY BAD the past few months
• Am losing weight again by my regular eating routine – I had tried everything I knew to do, including vigorous exercise and was unable to break 130.  I hit 129 a few days ago, and today, 128!  I haven’t seen 128 in over a year!
• I’m able to feel relief after urination – before, I felt like I always had to use the bathroom, but had difficulties feeling relief.  There was a constant urgency feeling, and a pressure in my abdomen.  The day after removal, those feelings left.
• The bloating in my stomach is G-O-N-E!  I have my old familiar tummy back…  post-wls, post-plastics, that is!
• Anxiety (that big ball of nerve feeling) has dissipated.  I am able to feel like I can actually catch my breath.  I’ve also been working on trying to stay clear of stress the past 2 days.

Summary:  Mirena removal was a good thing.  But, I’m still waiting on my headaches to resolve.
