Posted by: Sandra Wilson in Family, tags: FamilyIf you are like many women who have decided they want a tubal reversal after having their tubes tied, you have most likely been searching on line for information. There are all kinds of information you need to know. If you have just started, maybe this article and the resources given will help shorten the search for answers. At the very least, you will know the questions to be answered by the resources below or in our other articles.
Usually a woman and her husband will want to know things like the cost of a tubal reversal, where they can get some financial aid, information about tubal reversal doctors, and about the surgical center. Are you doing it in a hospital or a reversal center specifically for this operation? What are the pros and cons of each action?
You also need to know about how the surgery is done. Questions regarding the length of the surgery and recovery period are just a few things that need to be found out.
Now you need to ask questions about the doctor. Can you get the information about his education, training and experience easily? Does he even communicate with you at all? How many of these surgeries has he done in the last year, last three years, or last ten years? In other words, does he know what he is doing and have the experience to back it up? Can you even get the information from his office or his website as to what his success rates are? Does he return your calls for information or make sure someone is there to answer?
After the doctor comes questions about his staff, usually. Or do you just accept whatever “luck of the draw” you get? Do you know the qualifications of your anesthesiologist and her staff? What about the surgical team? Is it made up of whoever is on call or are you getting team members who have been doing the tubal reversal surgical “dance” for years?
Going back to the tubal reversal center again. Is this operation to have your tubes untied going to take place in a hospital? Or do you want it to take place in a tubal reversal center where that is all they do? Have you ever seen a surgical center with a fountain? For that matter, can you get even a virtual tour of where you are thinking of having your surgery done?
How easily can you talk to the doctor, the people in his office or even to other women who are patients or planning on being patients? Is there some type of support system, like through a message board, available to you for contacting all these people? Can the staff be easily reached by phone and email? Do they respond?
There are more questions that you need the answers to. Our other articles address many of these type of questions and provide answers, but for all the answers to your questions, just seek out the resources listed next.
