Tubalreversal Information *Crystal

As I mentioned before I had my tubal reversal in June 2009. I had a fabulous doctor. I researched the reversals online for almost a year before I went under the knife, and I want to share my personal experience on this issue. First it seems like a great idea and it is for most people because the statistics say 95% of tubaligations are reversable. My odds were good I had my tubes tied at 20 yrs. old and most doctors would spare as much tube as possible in such a young patient. I am only 30 yrs. old and healthy as a horse, so there was no reason to ASSUME I would not be a good candidate. I called Dr. Kayani's (dr. that tied my tubes) office and faxed over a request for my op report but I never got a response or an op report. If this is something you are looking into and you are unable to get your op report I would suggest you have an HSG procedure done. They run dye through your tubes to get an idea if they are repairable. It's not fool proof, but is can help you save $6,400 if there is any indication that your tubes can't be repaired. My doctor found during the surgery that my tubes were completely burned and scarred, so he did all he can do by removing the scarred tuba and creating a new opening at the end of the 2 cm I had left out if 10 cm. This procedure is called a neosalpingostomy. The end of your fallopian tube called the fimbria is what has little hairs called cilia that catches the egg when you ovulate and leads it down your tube which is also lined with the hairs. The opening he created has those little hairs, but my tubes are skinny nubs and only the proximal tube remains. HOW THE HELL IS AN EGG GONNA FIND THAT? Needless to say I was in the 5% of women that tubes were not able to be repaired sucessfully. I still try to conceive and pray for a miracle. So if that happens, I will keep you informed, but so far I have made it my mission to educate people so you can avoid any possible heartache and debt. So, if I help anyone out there this would not have been in vain. I am signing off saying have a great Sunday!
