In early 2009, Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center was contacted by Tanya who was interested in tubal reversal surgery. Tanya had been reading the Tubal Reversal Blog, wanted a tubal ligation reversal, and expressed a desire to document her journey for the benefit of other women.
She adopted her Tubal Reversal Message Board sign-on name and this was the start of the Tubal Ligation Reversal Journey of Georgia Peach.
In her last submission she described her experience the day of her reversal procedure. Her husband, Kevin (or now Mr. Peach), also gave his experience the day of surgery for the benefits of other husbands/partners. Now Dr. Monteith tells the story from his viewpoint.

Tubal Surgery
Tubal surgery is an excellent alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF) for the treatment of tubal infertility. We have always known this to be true and we perform corrective tubal surgery for diseased, blocked, and tied fallopian tubes exclusively at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.

At the request of my lovely wife, Tanya (aka Georgia Peach), I would like to give all the “Guys” an inside look into Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center and what they can expect during tubal reversal surgery and from the tubal reversal staff.
Tubal Ligation,Blocked Tubes: Desire For More Children
I never thought I would ever want another child, at least not until I met Tanya. We were married on December 22, 2008 and she is the most wonderful woman in the world. We started looking into tubal reversal in September 2008. Tanya was late starting her period that month and the curiosity of a pregnancy got to both of us.

March 17th, 2009 Tubal Ligation Reversal: Why Am I Blogging?
This is probably the most important blog I have typed to date. Previously, I read patient satisfaction messages about how they had were treated during their tubal reversal surgery. I had always gotten a brief synopsis of tubal sterilization reversal, but I hadn’t been given any in-depth, details of anyone’s surgery day. This is actually what got me started blogging for Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center.
I know tubal reversal surgery will be different for everyone, but this is how my surgery went…

Is tubal reversal or IVF the better treatment for women who have had their tubes tied (tubal ligation procedure) and now want to become pregnant again?

I had to work the day we were supposed to leave for North Carolina. I thought the day would never end. All of my coworkers knew I was having surgery and wouldn’t be back for a week. A few asked me questions, I tried not to think too much about the surgery because I was very nervous about it. My boss left halfway through the day to go pick up some things for the office. I was glad for the small break to mentally regroup to get through the rest of the day. Read the rest of this article and comment on it. »
March 2nd, 2009 In my previous two entries I covered how and why we came to decide on tubal reversal surgery. Now I want to talk about my anxiety over tubal ligation reversal.
Tubal Ligation Reversal : My Anxiety
When you are making a life changing choice about anything, there is a certain amount of concern to go along with it. I am an extremely sensitive person by nature- I cry at TV commercials! So to say the whole surgery situation, from deciding to have reversal surgery to getting to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center was an emotional time for me was putting it mildly. I of course ran the gauntlet of what if’s… what if it doesn’t work, what if I’m making a mistake, and what if I can’t deal with having reversal surgery?
