I am 28 I would like my tubes reversed but I have polyps will that effect anything.
We would recommend you have the polyps removed before having reversal surgery. Polyps inside the uterine cavity can interfere with pregnancy implantation and decrease the chance of pregnancy.
We should be able to help you. We can reverse most tubal ligation procedures.
You should send us your tubal ligation reports for a free review and we can let you know if you are a candidate for reversal surgery. Your reports can be obtained from the medical records department where your tubal ligation surgery was performed.
We charge $6400 total plus $125 to schedule and we are located in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Please be aware that starting April 1st 2019 the fee for reversal surgery will increase to $6,900 and the scheduling fee will increase to $150. If you want to avoid the higher fees then you should schedule your surgery before April 1st or start a Reversal Prepayment Account.
Patients pay in full and out-of-pocket at the time of scheduling. All you have to pay for in addition to the surgical fee is the cost of travel, hotel, and food.
On average the chance of pregnancy after tubal ligation reversal is about 60% if you are under age 42.
We do have a prepayment tubal reversal plan that allows you to save towards your reversal over a 3 year period.
Although $6,400 seems expensive…the alternative treatment in-vitro fertilization (IVF) average $12,000 to $14,000 and is about 40% successful!
The main advantage to tubal reversal is that every month you have a chance and you can become pregnant more than once.

You need to call the office and speak with a staff person. They need your name, date of birth and date of surgery and they can then add you.
