How Dr Berger Does a Tubal Ligation Reversal - Debra's Story

By Sandra Wilson

Contrary to popular belief, a tubal ligation reversal is possible. Although, many women are told that having their tubes tied is a permanent form of female sterilization, this is just not true. While a tubal reversal may not be the best answer for all women wanting to undo tubal ligation, it is the answer for many women.

You may wonder why a woman would want to change her mind. Sometimes, she just begins to feel like she made a bad decision as the tubal leaves her feeling less whole. Sometimes, there is a change in her life from one spouse to another. She wants to have another child with the new spouse. It may even be a case of hoping to do away with Post Tubal Syndrome.

Just know that whatever your reason might be, you can get a tubal ligation reversal. This new operation can undo the damage done during the tubal ligation in many circumstances. Getting your tubes tied is not an irreversible procedure, regardless of what you may have heard or even told by your doctor.

The Learning Channel itself did a documentary on tubal ligation reversal. They followed 37 year old Debra, mother of 3, on her journey to getting her tubes re-opened.

Previously, Debra had her tubes tied near the end of her first marriage. As happens in these cases, she met a new man, got remarried and they wanted to have children of their own.

As Debra goes through the process of the tubal ligation reversal operation, The Learning Channel follows along. The operation is a success with Debra reporting that she felt good the day after the surgery, just a little groggy. In a week, she was outside digging holes for a fence. That is a pretty fast recovery after surgery. The Learning Channel report goes on to announce that she found out she was pregnant the following January.

Now, there are several different ways to have your tubes tied and different surgeons remove different amounts of tube. I have learned of one poor woman who even had her tubes burned in three places each. The success of a reversal surgery can depend upon what type of tubal ligation was done and how much tube is left. Age plays a factor as well. But as you can see in Debra's case, it doesn't mean you can't have a child.

So, now you've learned that a tubal is not necessarily a permanent thing for majority of women. Even The Learning Channel did a report on tubal ligation reversal with the world's leading tubal reversal doctor. Click that link for a free video and learn a bit about Debra's story. Maybe one day, you can answer the question about whether or not having your tubes tied is a permanent thing or not.
