Problems Following Tubal Ligation Helped Using Tubal Reversal

Many is the medical field do not recognize that Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome actually exists. But women that suffer from PTLS will tell you differently. They will tell you that the symptoms that they are experiencing are not in their heads and that the problems started right after they had the tubal ligation or their “tubes tied”.

All too many times after a woman has had her tubes tied she will begin experiencing a myriad of problems. From irregular periods to heavy bleeding, unexplained weight gain, mood swings, hair loss and this is just a few.

When women begin suffering with PTLS at first they cannot figure out what is causing it. With time and research they begin to figure out the puzzle and begin to seek out help. They may begin with the primary care physician or the physician that actually performed the ligation. And they are often met with resistance. Many in the medical world do not believe that Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome even exists and there is not enough data to back it up. They may begin by putting the patient on the pill to try to regulate the cycles and bleeding. Of course, many wonder why if they had a ligation would the doctor do this? And it does upset many because the whole reason for having their tubes tied was because they did not want to have to worry about birth control.

Many do begin the treatment but it doesn’t help or the hormones will begin to play havoc on their systems. And desperate, these women will begin to search out answers to try to resolve the problems.

This is the time that many learn about tubal ligation reversal and how it has helped many women in the past. The leading tubal reversal center located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina has many couples who have the tubal reversal procedure not to have more children but for relief of PTLS. Many times this is the main reason for the reversal and if the couple is blessed with another child they are very happy.

The cost of outpatient tubal reversal surgery is not nearly as expensive as many are led to believe. The cost at the leading center is about $7000.00. There are even times throughout the year that the price is lowered. Many women will inquire about these dates and plan their surgeries at this time.

Recovery from tubal reversal surgery does not take long. Many of the patients are up and about hours after surgery and some have even reported on the message board that they are out shopping while visiting scenic Chapel Hill.

IVF Not Always Easy

Amplify’d from www.bioedge.org

James said, “My experiences have opened my eyes to the unacknowledged devastation IVF can wreak. No one talks about how the pursuit of fertility can bring negative consequences: you are expected to set your eye on the goal and just keep going until you get there. And when it has worked for you, no one will countenance you talking about how long or difficult the process was. Every discussion tends to be rounded off by someone saying, ‘At least you’ve got your little boy,’ as if what you went through is cancelled out by the end result.” ~ Daily Mail, Oct 23 Read more at www.bioedge.org

Tubal Reversal Surgery in the United States

Amplify’d from www.tubal-reversal.net

Dear Dr. Berger, You carried out my reversal surgery over two years ago now and to be honest we gave up trying well over a year ago or more. I was just happy to have my periods back to normal! I only got my hpt positive today although I have suspected for a couple of weeks. Only time will tell if this is a healthy pregnancy and that it results in a healthy baby, but regardless of what the outcome is I am just so thankful for the opportunity to conceive. Wow what a miracle – I am finding this hard to believe. I can’t even begin to thank you. I just knew that flying half way round the world to you was the right thing to do!

Tubal Ligation Reversal Patient Posts Update

Amplify’d from forums.tubal-reversal.net

posted November 20, 2010 12:31 AM                    Just wanted to drop in for a quick update. My husband and I just got back last night from our trip to Chapel Hill for our TR. We had a great time in Chapel Hill, the hotel was amazing, probably the best we've ever stayed at and we got the least expensive room! Our experience at the reversal center was absolutely top notch and the best medical experience I've ever had! All I can say is that the rave reviews we have all been reading on this message board are well deserved! I'm still a bit sore this evening, but I think a lot of that has to do with hiking around three airports and a couple of long flights yesterday. Even with the soreness though, it's not as bad as the TL was in 2001, and I'll be weaning off the pain meds tomorrow. I have good lengths, 5 cm on the left and 6.5 cm on the right, and Dr. Berger said they look nice and healthy so I guess only time will tell when it comes to conception! Whether we conceive again or not though, it's great just to feel whole again and have this behind us. It felt like it took forever for us to get to this point and now I'm just looking forward to being healed and getting on with business as usual. I'm curious to see how the reversal will affect my cycles and PTLS symptoms. My first fertile time post reversal is coming up over the next several days and I don't think I'll be up to nookie, so I'm hoping to see at least a little bit of improvement. I'm not holding my breath, but with our history (we have been married 15 years and already have four kids together) and the regularity of my cycles I suspect I may not have a whole lot of cycles for comparison. We won't be stressing TTC but won't be preventing either, again I say, only time will tell!! Whatever the future holds for us, we will be eternally grateful to Dr. Berger and all the staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center for their part in our journey to fix something we broke almost 10 years ago. God Bless and good luck to all of you who are still waiting for your time in the OR, and plenty of baby dust to those of you TTCRead more at forums.tubal-reversal.net

Excitement Over Tubal Reversal Surgery

Along with the choice to have tubal reversal surgery comes a wide range of emotions.

Amplify’d from forums.tubal-reversal.net

posted November 19, 2010 03:13 PM                    I am so excited! My TR is scheduled for next month. My husband and I decided to get the TR because of my horrible PTLS. I can't wait to be back to my old self. I am experiencing some odd emotions that I am wondering if anyone can relate to? I had 2 children and got my tubes tied during my c-section. Only once since I had my tubes tied have I thought "maybe I will get it reversed and try for another" that day I went to visit a good friend's brand new baby in the hospital. Who doesn't long for another baby while sitting in the hospital rocker holding a new baby that has only been in the world for a few hours?!?!?! I haven't longed for more children or regretted my decision to not have anymore.... UNTIL NOW! I am almost obsessive over the idea of another (My husband says I'm acting like a Jack Russell Terrier.) My youngest is 3 and the baby stage in our house is just about gone and now with the option about to be back on the table I want to try. I feel so wishy-washy! Is it ok for me to just accept that circumstances have changed and a change of plans happens? Read more at forums.tubal-reversal.net

Caring For Yourself While on the Tubal Reversal Journey

As women we tend to always be caring for others. And it is no different when you are getting ready to have the tubal reversal procedure. Although we know we have to take care of ourselves many others things can get in the way. And it happens to the best of us no matter how determined a person is.

Before the tubal reversal even takes place we should be getting into shape and taking vitamins as well as watching what we eat. Exercise is important not only for our bodies but for our minds as well. This is the time that many begin walking and walking can help distress us and help us think things through.

When caring for oneself for tubal reversal surgery it is important to remember that our emotions will at times be running high. We will worry whether or not the reversal will work. How long it will take us to conceive and on and on the thoughts go. For many actually having to lose the weight before surgery and wondering if we are going to be able to make the goal may cause stress.

Keeping a positive attitude as well as caring for our bodies is the only thing that will get us through. Having a great support system may not seem like the easiest thing to be found but it is available. The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center website has proven to be such a place. The blog and tubal reversal message board have provided support to hundreds of women.

While caring for yourself for tubal reversal just remember that your womb may soon be the place where your baby will call home for nine months.

Tubal Ligation Reversal After a Loss

Tubal ligation reversal after a loss is something that couples choose to do and it restores hope that has been lost. Giving the gift of life is something that is dear to many of us and when life is taken from us there is no replacing it. But, after a tubal ligation and a loss of a child how does a couple cope?

The tragic loss of a child is something that no one should ever have to endure, but it happens and life needs to move forward. Many couples that lose a child either to a tragic accident or illness in many instances have other children to care for. Children bring so much joy into our lives that we must pick up the pieces and carry on for those that remain with us.

So, after a tubal ligation is it possible to have another child? Yes, it is possible and it doesn’t have to be using the in vitro fertilization procedure. Tubal ligation reversal surgery has been proven to have better pregnancy success rates and many choose this procedure just because of that fact.

After losing a child there is a void. Many women who have a tubal ligation not only bear the sorrow that they have just lost a child but cannot have another because of the ligation. That is until they hear about ligation reversal. And their hopes begin to be restored.

It is not uncommon for couples to seek out tubal reversal after loss. They are not trying to replace the child they have lost by any means. There is a void and a longing that is in their hearts and having a child does help the healing. There are many angels that are looking down on these couples.

Having a tubal reversal is a journey but it is a journey that isn’t traveled alone. On the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board there are many women who are traveling the same road. When a couple needs comfort and understanding often times this is where they turn

Having those who understand what you are going through and what you are about to face in the journey helps lessen the burden. There are friends there who care and will be there to support you as well as help you through the journey of restoring hope and bring new life into your home.

Tubal Reversal Patient Satisfaction and How Reports Help Others

When a couple is researching tubal reversal surgery and are trying to choose the right surgeon what do they look for? This is something that many couples do not know and have a hard time trying to figure out the questions to answer.

1. How much or how many years experience does the surgeon have? The more experience the better when it comes to the surgeon of your choice. This is something that you will want to have to do once and have it done right.
2. Where did the surgeon study? Is he accredited? If so, where?
3. How is the staff? If you call the office are they willing to answer questions? Although this may not be the surgeon it is still the staff and you will have to have communication to have questions answered.
4. What is the pregnancy success rate? When you ask this question be sure the numbers are that of solid evidence. Many pull numbers from the sky. To date there is only one center that keeps actual statistics and this is Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

Choosing the right tubal reversal surgeon is not an easy task. This is a life altering decision and should not be taken lightly. Whether you are having a reversal to have a child or for Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome relief you will want the best surgeon available.

Cost is a huge factor for many. Because a surgeon is more expensive it does not make the surgeon better. Many surgeons still perform the tubal reversal in the hospital and not as an outpatient procedure. The leading center not only performs this as a outpatient but the cost is also considerably less because of this fact.

Check the tubal reversal patient satisfaction reports. If a patient writes and states how the surgery went, how she was treated and how she feels after surgery then this is a great insight. Many patients will email in their opinions once they are up and about from surgery. This can happen within hours.

For questions on tubal ligation reversal and how other women feel about it visit Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. If you would like to speak with a tubal reversal nurse, call (919) 968-4656 for a free phone consultation.

Choosing The Right Surgeon For Your Tubal Ligation Reversal

Choosing the right surgeon to perform your tubal reversal surgery it not easy. You need to know what to ask what information is really true and what the chances are for a successful surgery.

The research for choosing the right surgeon can be quite daunting and that is not even counting the actually appointment making and getting ready for the surgery. Because so many couples know this might be their only chance of having a child it can become very stressful.

In order to keep the stress down the best thing a couple can do is to research. Research until you feel you have gotten all of your answers figured out. There is no reason to rush through things and feel you have made a mistake after the reversal is completed.

One of the first things couples do is go to websites where tubal reversal surgeons are listed and rated. This can be quite an interesting task because many times there may be a couple of good reviews and then there are the people who were not happy with the service or care provided. Be sure to read through everything.

After you have chosen the surgeon do not be afraid to see if the company has a website. If they do have a website, is it informative or just it just make the surgery and tubal reversal surgery look like a piece of cake? Call the office and speak with someone who works there. Ask questions. And if your question is not answered fully the first time do not be afraid to ask again. This is the one chance you may have to see how the staff will interact with you.

Be sure to ask if the staff and surgeon will be available after your surgery is completed. Not just during the healing time but for months after or maybe even years. How is this questions answered? If you are treated like you are taking up too much time then steer clear. This is a pretty good indicator of the treatment you will receive after the surgery is completed.

Does the surgeon have any type of success rate that you can see? Or are numbers being pulled out of the sky. You want concrete evidence. Again ask and if you do not like the answer move on.

The experience of the surgeon and staff has a lot to do with a successful outcome of the tubal reversal surgery. Does the surgeon perform this on a full time basis or just a few times a month? How well is the staff educated in reversal surgery? Although this may sound little now it may cause regret later after your surgery.

Why Couples Go to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center

When a couple decides they are going to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center they have researched and learned all they can about the procedure. But what makes them choose this particular Center over others?

This is a common question that others come to the tubal reversal message board to ask. They want to know WHY these couples made the final decision. Did they just go on the Internet and this center was the first to pop up in the search? Not hardly.

It is no huge secret that the more experience the surgeon has performing the tubal reversal surgery the better your chances are for getting pregnant. By choosing a surgeon that has vast experience in this field not only helps the chances for pregnancy but they flat out have probably seen every type of ligation possible.

The question of tubal damage among those researching is common. If my tubes are cut and burned can they still be repaired enough to get pregnant? The answer is yes, if you choose a surgeon that has the experience and has done these types of reversals before.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has the surgeons with the experience. Dr. Gary Berger is an early pioneer in the field of tubal reversal. He has developed the low-cost, outpatient tubal reversal that has made it possible for over 8000 couples to regain fertility.

Dr. Berger is not the only surgeon who performs surgery at CHTRC, he is joined by Dr. Charles Monteith. Dr. Monteith has extensive experience in obstetrics and gynecology and has been trained in tubal reversal by the best, Dr. Berger. One of the main reasons Dr. Monteith gives for joining CHTRC is that he feels that he is making a difference in peoples lives.

When patients are asked why they chose this center there are a variety as reasons such as what is posted here, ‘tammyfromWI’ who posts, “I was actually directed to CHTRC thru the UW-Madison's Infertility Clinic. They told me that it was well know all over the U.S and throughout the world. I could have had it done at the UW's clinic but they told me it would cost around $20,000 and have to do an inpatient stay. I talked to them for about five more minutes, came home, researched the website, and then made the call to CHTRC. I scheduled my surgery for 3/24/10. We decided to wait a couple months to TTC and in June started. We did end up with a BFP. It was a keeper. I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant and so happy with my decision to go with them. They do this everyday and know what they are doing.”

Choosing Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center has been one of the most rewarding things these couples have chosen to do!
