Do you have questions about what happens after tubal reversal surgery? This may be especially true if you are flying to another location to have the tubal reanastomosis. Below you will find four commonly asked questions and their answers.
If you have decided to have your tubal reanastomosis done by a premiere surgeon such as Dr. Gary Berger of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, your first question will be about the flight home. How soon after the surgery can you leave? Now, if you are questioning why you would fly somewhere else to get this operation done, you should check out the author's other articles on selecting a tubal reversal doctor or check the resources listed below.
You will have to spend at least one night at your hotel after tubal reversal surgery. In the morning, you should be checked by the doctor or a nurse. If you live within the continental U.S., you will then be free to fly home. So, you go home the day after the surgery. But, if you have further to travel, you would be wise to wait at least another day or two before heading back home.
Now the next concern that is raised is about your trip home and your personal comfort. The first thing you can do to provide extra comfort is to have a small pillow to carry around over your lower abdomen that will provide some extra support there.
Be sure to take your pain medication along with a couple ibuprofen just before the flight to help take the edge off the pain. Most women have little pain after a tubal reanastomosis but the effort and bumpiness of a flight or car trip could aggravate things for you. Of course, you should check with your own surgeon to learn what he suggests. Also, if you do get a little motion sick, you might want to check into some medication to help with that. Discuss this with your surgeon.
One last thing to do is to try to get a direct flight. If however, you must change flights along the way, ask for a wheelchair or one of the "golf" carts available at most airports to get you from one gate to another. Be sure to tell the gate attendant that you just had surgery and need to board as you may be moving slower than usual.
Your next question is probably should you get an appointment with your own doctor when you get home after tubal reversal surgery. This is up to you. If he referred you, then you probably should. If he didn't, then it's your choice and whether or not it would make you feel better.
The last question for right after the tubal reversal is usually about how you contact your tubal reversal surgeon. In these days, not only should you have a phone number that you can use day or night, there should be other ways as well though there's nothing like a phone for an emergency. Email could be one way to get more questions or concerns answered. A moderated message board is an even better way that also allows you to contact other women who have had or are considering tubal reanastomosis. - 15683
