Andrea after tubal ligation reversal surgery….
Andrea describes her recovery and improvement of symptoms after tubal ligation reversal surgery. Her story prior to ligation reversal is Meet Andrea.
Andrea after tubal reversal surgery in her own words…
I had my tubal ligation reversal surgery on 7/30/08. I was on my second day of my period that day. After surgery, I bled for only four more days!
This past month was the first month I had NO migraine or cluster headaches, no odd bleeding or cramping, and I have now started my period. I started right on time, and had tolerable cramps with NORMAL moderate blood flow. This isn’t the blood flow that has caused me to leave in the middle of church-weak, nauseated and pale. I am so very happy that I can live without the exhaustion of anemia during my period, and not live in fear that one time will just be too heavy to be OK. I don’t have to live with the pain, constant moisture, showering 2-3 times a day and clotting.
Most importantly, I’ve given God control over my body. I don’t have to cry and grieve over the loss of a possible future child, nor do I have to cry over the pain and turmoil my physical body is in.
Andrea has exciting news…
Andrea has become pregnant almost two months after her tubal ligation reversal! Her baby is in her uterus and things seem to be progressing well.
The staff of CHTRC wishes Andrea and her family good luck with their first tubal reversal baby. Undoubtedly, there is nothing like a pregnancy to cure bad menstrual periods!
