"i recently had the implant put in and would like to share my first thoughts; i plan to do an update in 3-6 months. the initial pain of having the implant inserted was mild - i would rate it even less painful than a shot. your arm will be sore for a few days and there will be bruising, but nothing to get excited about. it has now been 2 weeks and i can&#039;t even tell that it is there except when i feel for the implant on purpose. my doctor warned of immediate and persistent bleeding/spotting, but i haven&#039;t experienced that so far. i&#039;ve been losing weight for the past few months (on purpose) and haven&#039;t noticed a difference since the implant. no major issues with acne. everybody is different, but don&#039;t let the negative reviews scare you!"
