July 5th, 2009 Continuation of My Journey to Tubal Reversal by Lisa R.
Waiting for My TR
Waiting for the tubal reversal surgery brought on much anxiety. It was a rather long wait for me and my husband and son, Harry and Ian, too. But, I can not begin to explain the amount of help that Dr. Berger and all his staff were for me, in helping me to relax and get through the wait. When the day came to leave for the drive to North Carolina, I am not even sure I thought life was real, that this was really about to happen. My anxiety went through the roof, as I am sure everyone else goes through. Read the rest of this article and comment on it. »

In January of 2009 I had the pleasure of working with Lisa and Marshal M.
After her reversal surgery, Lisa M. emailed me a picture she took with the other women who had reversal surgery with her on the same day.
Pictured from left to right are Tubal Reversal Sisters: Lisa M., Lisa R., Christina, and April.
For reasons I will explain, I felt a strong desire to share this picture with our blog Tubal Reversal Blog Readers. Read the rest of this article and comment on it. »

My first day back at work was the beginning of my second week of recovery.
I work as a receptionist so I have somewhat of a desk job, but I do have to get up and down to get files, answer phones, and assist clients. I took my heating pad to work with me those first few days.
I only worked half a day Friday and I was exhausted by the end of the half day shift.

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.

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…

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. »
