He just turned 3! http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22889.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22889.html There are many reasons given by Tubal Reversal Message Board Members who vote for Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22886.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22886.html Some women report severe mood swings and loss of sex drive as components of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/1388/2.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/1388/2.html Tubal Reversal Message Board discussion among Dr. Berger's many tubal reversal patients who are pregnant and due to deliver their babies next summer. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22717.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22717.htm Because of the bureaucracy of Army Tricare, military wives seeking tubal reversal surgery go to Dr. Berger at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/2/746.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/2/746.html PTLS symptoms vary among women and may be confused with pregnancy symptoms. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/2961.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/2961.html Last night I had this dream that my Dr.'s office called and my mom (who died in April) answered the phone and proceeded to tell me that I was pregnant. I said, "How can that be? My last test was negative." And she told me that the nurse said that sometimes the test takes up to 3 months to show a positive, and that I was probably 3 months pregnant. Then, I was worried because I wasn't sure who the father was. And I didn't have any maternity clothes and I wasn't sure where to get any. So, I don't know what all of that means, but I thought that it might give you all a chuckle in the midst of TTC. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22868.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22868.html Hello to all the TR sisters. I found out yesterday that I have a positive pregnancy test. I just had my Tubal Reversal on 10/12/06. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22843/3.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22843/3.html After tubal reversal once the pregnancy is found to be in the uterus it is monitored just like any other pregnancy. It would not be high risk at that point just because of the TR. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22864.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22864.html Lila finds other women through the Tubal Reversal Message Board who are having their tubal reversal surgery by Dr. Berger on the same day that she is, November 20th. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3721.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3721.html Mon, 20 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT After years of research, I found Dr. Berger. His success rates far outnumbered that of any other doctor practicing the same 'microsurgery', and the compassion of his staff far exceeds any and all expectations. Choosing Dr. Berger was the only "right" thing that I did in reversing the worst decision of my life (my tubal ligation). Dr. Berger is truly a pioneer in his field of tubal reversal surgery. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/3073.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/3073.html Tubal reversal patients discuss how long it took them to have a successful pregnancy after tubal reversal by Dr. Berger. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/19590.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/19590.html Tubal Reversal pregnancy rates are the highest after reversal of Hulka clip or Filshie clip tubal ligations. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3719.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3719.html I can't believe that exactly 1 year ago today was my Tubal Reversal Surgery! On September 1st, we welcomed our Berger baby, Elijag Paul Samuel, into the world. Once again, Thank you Dr Berger and the staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22841.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22841.html Women who have had tubal reversal surgery performed by Dr. Berger and have short tubal segments to repair become pregnant nevertheless. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22822.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22822.html Dr. Berger's tubal reversal patients report their ultrasound results early in pregnancy on the Tubal Reversal Message Board. Dr. Berger recommends early pregnancy monitoring with ultrasound to confirm that the pregnancy is in the uterus and to rule out ectopic pregnancy. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22828.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22828.html Irregular menstrual cycles after tubal ligation may be related to increasing FSH levels or to PTLS. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/2957.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/2957.html I am new to the Tubal Reversal Message Board and have enjoyed reading all of the great advice...it helps to know I am not alone. My tubal reversal surgery date is scheduled and all our reservations have been made. I can hardly believe this is all really happening! http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/22et/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2202.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2202.html Hi my name is Amy. My husband and I have 3 children and want to have one more. I just faxed the release form to the hospital yesterday and am waiting for them to fax it to Dr. Berger. I'm very excited and look forward to sharing our tubal reversal experience and hearing yours. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2201.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2201.html Here is an updated photo of the two most beautiful girls ever! Thanks to you, Dr. Berger, we have been blessed and everyday the girls remind us of how lucky we are. We can't thank you enough for what you have done in helping us have two more children. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-testimonies/two-tubal-reversal-girls-591.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-testimonies/two-tubal-reversal-girls-591.htm Tubal Reversal Message Board member Kris reports her HSG shows that her one and only fallopian tube is open after tubal reversal by Dr. Berger.

I have been divorced for 9 years and actually I had my tubal ligation shortly before I was asked for the divorce. I have regretted that decision almost from the first day after my TL. Now I am in a relationship and, after careful consideration, we have decided it would be a blessing if we could have a child together. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2198.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2198.html Weekly updates show the pregnancy information reported by Dr. Berger's patients after their tubal reversal surgery. During the last week of September 2006, 16 new pregnancies were reported by Dr. Berger's patients. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/pregnancies.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/pregnancies.htm Thanks for all the support ladies! It's so sad that so much of the medical community dismisses woman's issues as being all in our heads. They needlessly let women suffer. I am glad I found this place! A big support network is vital. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/14957.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/14957.html Due to severe constant pain my gynecologist sent me for both an ultrasound and an x-ray. The results showed that one of the clips has cut right through the tube and has now migrated. The report said: "One in the pelvis to the left and one centrally in the pelvis overlying the lower sacrum. The clips appear closed." What does all of this mean, and will it hurt my chances of having tubal reversal and it's success? http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3698.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3698.html I am now 20 weeks pregnant with my second tubal reversal baby. We are so excited. We were just hoping for one baby and we are now having two babies! http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-testimonies/two-tubal-reversal-babies-593.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-testimonies/two-tubal-reversal-babies-593.htm We tried in-vitro but it didn't work. We kept looking until we found Dr. Berger's Tubal Ligation Reversal website. That moment was like seeing a light at the end of a dark and endless tunnel. Quickly we took the steps we needed to follow to learn more about Dr. Berger and "boy oh boy!" we finally made one of the best decisions we made in our lifes. My surgery was scheduled for December 20th, 2005 and I was pregnant with my first baby boy by February 1st, 2006. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-testimonies/angel-child-of-our-own-595.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-testimonies/angel-child-of-our-own-595.htm Tue, 31 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT Dear Sheri - Welcome to the message board! You will find lots of support and encouragement here from other TR patients - some of them saving up their money for surgery, just like you - as well as Dr. Berger's staff. I'm glad you found us. You've decided on the best and most experienced surgeon available to perform your TR. Every day, the nurses here receive e-mail "pregnancy report forms" from women who have had their TR and are now pregnant, as well as grateful testimonials and comments from patients. These are a daily reminder of why we are doing this job every day - to help couples achieve the blessing of another child. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2193.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2193.html Tue, 31 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT When performing tubal reversal, Dr. Berger will make a 3 - 4" incision just above and parallel to your pubic bone. For most women, the scar is hidden within the pubic hair. Since plastic surgery techniques are used to close the skin, the scar will be barely visible within a few months following surgery. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2192.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2192.html Tubal surgery is associated with an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy. To prevent possible rupture of an ectopic pregnancy, Dr. Berger recommends a specific protocol for early pregnancy testing. For their own safety, it is essential that women who have had tubal reversal surgery have a doctor who will follow these recommendations. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22546.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22546.html My OB/GYN did my c-section and she was so impressed with the way my tubes look, she couldn't tell at all where he put them back together. Dr. Berger is the best. All of you are a blessing and I'm so glad that I found Dr. Berger and his clinic and his wonderful staff. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22539/2.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22539/2.html Women who have had an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) describe answer the question about how painful is it. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22534.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22534.html Message board discussion about whether to have a tubal reversal at age 43. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/4/592.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/4/592.html Sat, 28 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT I'm sorry it took me so long to announce my baby's arrival; my DH and I can't get enough of him; we love him so much and all I can say is that he's a blessing.

The inner layer (endothelium) has the cilia that help carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus. This delicate layer should not have suture material placed in it. The middle layer (muscularis) is made of muscle and connective tissue. This is the most important layer to bring together with sutures. When this layer is brought together, the inner and outer layers can heal over it spontaneously - with or without sutures. The outer layer (serosa) is a thin lining. I suture this layer as well as the important middle layer but avoid suturing the inner layer to minimize the risk of scar formation in the tubal lumen. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22215.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/22215.html I remember how happy we were when I had the TR done in June 2005 and how I felt when we got pregnant, but it can't measure up to how we feel every day now that our dream has come true. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/dream-come-true-588.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/dream-come-true-588.htm I just have to tell you you're not going to find a better doctor than Dr. Berger - where else can you go to have your body put back together very expertly, get to feel pampered by the staff, and get all the support you need afterwards, for as long as you need it?

The tied end of the segment of fallopian tube attached to the uterus is sutured into the back side of the uterus, and the other tied end is buried in the connective tissue underlying the fallopian tube. As with other ligation/resection methods, the Irving technique leaves behind two healthy tubal segments that can be put back together with tubal reversal microsurgery.

Here are some of the most discussed topics on the Tubal Reversal Message Board. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-message-board-references.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-message-board-references.htm This week's Pregnancy Report from Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center shows that women can become pregnant even with very short tubal lengths after tubal reversal surgery and that pregnancies occur as quickly as the first cycle after surgery. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/9/244.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/9/244.html Discussion on the Tubal Reversal Message Board about the reasons why tubal reversal is a better treatment than IVF for women wanting another baby after a tubal ligation. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-vs-ivf.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-vs-ivf.htm Jessie and Don thank Dr. Berger and the staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center for the miracle of their new daughter, Natalie-Jean, following tubal reversal surgery. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/family-miracle-583.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/family-miracle-583.htm Women from across the United States and other countries share information about tubal reversal surgery on the Tubal Reversal Message Board. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/1872.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/1872.html Welcoming messages and lots of helpful responses greet this new member of the Tubal Reversal Message Board. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2114.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2114.html Other Tubal Reversal Message Board members share this member's excitement at being able to schedule tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Berger. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2088.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2088.html After returning home from Chapel Hill, this patient of Dr. Berger reports "The staff at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal center was awesome. I have never been cared for so well." http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3664.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3664.html I just wanted to give an update on our Berger baby. Being a mother of a new baby after 15 years is a huge adjustment. Thank you so much for our little Caitlyn. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/berger-baby-576.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/berger-baby-576.htm Tubal Reversal Message Board members respond to Jeanna in Hawaii who is planning to travel to Chapel Hill for reversal surgery by Dr. Berger. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21691.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21691.html We had our second tubal reversal baby on August 9th. Now I have two wonderful little boys. They keep me busy along with their two older brothers. Kevin is so enjoying being a dad. Thanks to Dr. Berger he has two wonderful sons. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/second-tubal-reversal-baby-581.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/second-tubal-reversal-baby-581.htm I'm 22 weeks right now with my second baby since Dr. Berger reversed my tubal ligation. I've attached a picture of my son with my husband who will be one month shy of three years old when his little sib is born. Happy days! http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/second-baby-ligation-reversed-580.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/second-baby-ligation-reversed-580.htm Each week Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center provides summary information about pregnancies reported by Dr Berger's tubal reversal patients. The reports include tubal lengths as well as the date of tubal reversal (DOS or date of service), person's age, and tubal ligation method (type of TL). http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21680.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21680.html Although hysterosalpingography (HSG) is the most widely available test for assessing tubal patency, the results often are inconclusive or interpreted inaccurately. Carol, a patient of Dr. Gary Berger, shares her story of pregnancy and birth after being told her tubes were blocked following reversal surgery. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21647.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21647.html Although some women choose to use ovulation predictor kits or fertility medications following surgery, these are not required. Once the tubes are repaired, there is a chance that pregnancy can occur naturally each month with tubal reversal surgery. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21618.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21618.html Many of Dr. Berger's patients choose to use the pre-payment plan offered by Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center as a way to save and pay for their reversal procedure. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/2/777.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/2/777.html A newly scheduled patient seeks advice on what she might expect before, during, and after her surgery at Chapel Hill tubal Reversal Center. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3658.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/3/3658.html Over 570 pregnancy testimonials about Dr. Berger's tubal reversal babies. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal_reversal_testimonials.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal_reversal_testimonials.htm Ten new pregnancies were reported during the week of August 12 - August 18 by couples who have undergone tubal ligation surgery with Dr. Gary Berger. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/9/243.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/9/243.html Women who have undergone reversal surgery or are preparing for surgery with Dr. Berger discuss the support they receive from other members of the board and from Tubal Reversal Center staff. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2104.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2104.html A new member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Message Board shares her feelings of confusion regarding surgery and another pregnancy. Dr. Berger's patients and staff share experiences and offer encouragement and support. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2113.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2113.html Tubal ligation and resection (removal) of a portion of the fallopian tube is the most frequent method of blocking the tubes. In most cases, pregnancy rates following a ligation and resection procedure and subsequent reversal surgery are high. Approximately two out of three women with this type of sterilization will become pregnant after reversal surgery with Dr. Berger. Pregnancy rates with IVF are around 28% per cycle. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/3040.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/3040.html Measuring and interpreting HCG blood levels is the best way to monitor the development of a pregnancy in the earliest weeks. In a normally developing pregnancy, serum HCG levels double every 2 to 3 days. When serum HCG reaches 1500-2000 mIU/ml, a vaginal ultrasound exam should show a gestation sac in the uterus. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21590.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21590.html I thought I didn't have much of a chance with only one tube, I had my tubal reversal on July 6th on August 10th I took a pregnancy test and it was positive! http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/pregnant-one-tube-578.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/pregnant-one-tube-578.htm Post-Tubal Ligation Syndrome, or PTLS, is a set of symptoms some women feel they developed as a result of having a tubal ligation. Symptoms may include very heavy, painful periods, severe PMS, headaches, and other problems. While PTLS is not recognized by the medical community, many of Dr. Berger's patients have reported significant relief of their symptoms following tubal reversal surgery. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2111.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2111.html This TR patient is thrilled to have a positive pregnancy test and has posted the healthy results of her first HCG (pregnancy hormone) blood draw. TR patients are at increased risk of ectopic pregnancy, so Dr. Berger insists on a strict early pregnancy monitoring protocol (blood work, and an ultrasound once the HCG levels reach 1500) to verify the pregnancy is in the uterus. Even with the increased risk, about 85% of pregnancies in Dr. Berger's patients are in the right place. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21546.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21546.html Many patients with a history of multiple caesarean births have had successful tubal reversals with Dr. Berger, and gone on to have more children. Previous abdominal surgeries, including caesareans, may cause scar tissue formation, but this is rarely a problem in tubal reversal surgery or future pregnancies. Several message board members with similar histories post their TR and pregnancy stories on the board. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2069.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2069.html A tubal reversal patient posts a question about Clomid, a fertility drug, which her doctor has prescribed for her. Patients and a staff reply regarding possible side effects she might encounter. Most tubal reversal patients are able to conceive naturally without medication, but if a patient has problems with ovulation, Clomid may help. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21507.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21507.html There are now over 10,000 registered members of Dr. Berger's tubal reversal message board! On the board, past and prospective tubal reversal patients are able to find medical information from Dr. Berger, the nurses, and each other regarding all aspects of the TR procedure, as well as support and encouragement afterwards and advice on how to get pregnant more quickly. 10,000 is a lot of lives that have been touched by Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21498.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21498.html A 42-year-old woman considering tubal reversal surgery worries she may be too old to become pregnant. Dr. Berger's staff and patients explain that many women of her age and even older have successful pregnancies after tubal reversal. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/4/573.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/4/573.html A prospective TR patient is welcomed to Dr. Berger's Message Board, and responding to her concerns, members reassure her that she will be able to lose enough weight before her surgery so her BMI will be under 35, as required. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2092.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2092.html "We definitely made the right choice of doctors. Here we are less than a year after the surgery with a wonderful bundle of joy." http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/choice-doctors-577.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/choice-doctors-577.htm "We thank Dr. Berger for our tubal reversal and making this miracle happen for our family." http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/family-miracle-574.htm http://www.tubal-reversal.net/tubal-reversal-baby-testimonials/family-miracle-574.htm Current members welcome a new member to the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center message board and provide her with encouragement regarding Dr. Berger and his staff. http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21473.html http://www.tubal-reversal.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/5/21473.html Twelve of Dr. Berger's patients reported new pregnancies during the week of August 5th - 11th, including three women who are age 40
