Tubal ligation reversal: Who will you bring with you?
August 12th, 2008Patients who come to Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center are required to have a responsible adult with them both before, during and after tubal ligation reversal surgery. The role of this person is to care for you and assist you with daily activities and travel back home.
Patients bring many different types of people with them for their ligation reversal. The most common support person is a male partner- a husband or a fiancé. Many times spouses are unable to come because of a work commitment or military deployment.
A common misconception is all patients bring their spouses. Some common support persons are:
- Spouse
- Mother
- Mother-in-law
- Friend
- Sister
- Aunt
The decision to have a tubal ligation reversal is an important decision for many patients. We recommend you bring a supportive person who you love and trust to be with you during this important step in your life.
