My dr's office had no problems, as long as I was sure I didn't want more kids, I had a tubal with my 2nd son so I was sure Iwas done.
I begged for a hysterectomy (sp?) and the dr kept telling me I was too young-- and then she suggested the Abaltion.
As far as anyone getting it, I think if the "conditions" were right- yes. My insurance paid for 100% of the procedure and it was outpatient surgery. I (thinking I wanted the other surgery) called the dr's office every month to complain about cramping, heavy flow and clotting and asked them to not my chart. I wanted to make sure my symptoms were well documented so the doctor or insurance company wouldn't question the procedure.
It is great!!! There were a few draw backs preparing for the procedure- i will give more details if you would like-- but afterwards is great.
There are several forms-- one is a little balloon filled with hot water basically, that scars the uterus and has the same effecct-- although not nearly as long lasting as the method I had. My neighbor had the balloon method, it cut her periods back to almost spotting--- but I haven't even spotted in almost 2 years. My dr began preforming the procedure 10yrs ago and has patients that have been 10yrs w/o a period.
If you have any questions- let me know.
