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.
