Patricia is 46 years old, a mother of three children, and traveled to A Personal Choice from Mooresville, North Carolina (N.C.) for tubal ligation reversal. She is not only a mother, but also a designer, inventor, and marketer who created and developed a sports ball to improve the lives of young children. When Patricia had her last c-section twenty-two years ago, she had her tubes tied. She has regretted her decision ever since.
Tubal Ligation
Patricia had children at an early age. Her life was stressful and tumultuous. She was a stay at home mom and decided three children were enough for her. During her c-section, she had a ligation resection type of tubal ligation. Eventually, she became divorced and pursued many different career paths while she was a single mother.
After Tubal Ligation
She eventually met her life’s love and together they created a new invention (the Yackle Ball). Together they designed, manufactured, and sold their newly created sports ball. Recently, they had a successful appearance on the QVC channel.
Patricia very much wants to have a child with her current partner. She seriously thought about having a tubal reversal and made a commitment to become pregnant.
Within days of making her decision, she stopped smoking, alcohol consumption, and educated herself about the challenges older women face when they attempt to become pregnant.
