At the age of 23, I had four girls, was not married, and was pressured to get my tubes tied.
As time passed, I met and married a wonderful man named Robert. He did not have any children and we have been together for eleven years.
My girls are now 23, 21, 19 and 15 years of age.
This is the beginning of my quest for more children through tubal ligation reversal.
Robert did not have children, but he helped me raise my girls and he truly loved them as I if they were his own. We talked about having a child together, but we never thought it possible.
Reversal Of Tubal Ligation
I began searching for information about reversal of tubal ligation. I discovered tubal ligation reversal surgery was the procedure, but it could cost thousands of dollars –money we did not have. This broke my heart.
We decided to make a serious effort to save money, but we were soon both laid off from our jobs. When we did get back into the work force, we accepted lower paying jobs, which further put our dreams of having a child on hold. Because we had four children to provide for, we found it harder to save on the lower income we were making. We decided to wait until the girls became older, moved out, married or started college.
Personal Story About Tubal Reversal
Once the house was empty (except for my 15 year old), I realized I was getting older and began my quest for a successful tubal reversal surgery. I did not want to be in my 40’s and trying to have a baby. I assumed my chances would be slim if I waited.
In 2006, I told my husband my goal was to have my tubal ligation reversed in 2009.
I surfed the internet to find an affordable doctor who was successful in tubal ligation reversal surgery and I came across an internet article Tubal Reversal : A unique Medical Facility for Tubal Ligation Reversal by Gary S. Berger MD.
Tubal Reversal Discount With Dr. Monteith
I started going to www.tubal-reversal.net to read the website. The Tubal Reversal Blog and personal stories kept my hopes up. When January 2009 approached I only had $4000.
There was a tubal reversal discount with Dr. Monteith that was $4900 at the time, which meant I had $900 more to save. I was so happy; however, I had one more important bill to pay.
Paying For Tubal Reversal
Paying for tubal reversal was going to be tough. I am in school taking prerequisites classes for a degree in physical therapy and my winter semester tuition was $1695. You know where this is going, but I had to pay my tuition. By the time I paid my tuition the discounted rate of Dr. Monteith had changed to $5400. I was very disappointed but determined this would not stop us from having a tubal reversal.
By, March 9, 2009, we had the money we needed and all we had to do was make the appointment.
Best Tubal Reversal Clinic: CHTRC
We were so excited – we were like two kids in a candy store! I was at the Post Office at 9am sharp to sent my full payment for reversal surgery by overnight express mail. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to call A Personal Choice and schedule a reversal surgery appointment. I cannot remember with whom I spoke to because I was crying intensely, but she listened to me go on and on about how I could not believe I was making this phone call after waiting nine years.
I made my Appointment for April 14, 2009! I immediately went and had my pre-operative lab work done and scheduled my airline flight and hotel reservations. I was so happy and anxious. April 14th seemed to be so far away as I counted the days. I did not get nervous until it was time to go to my appointment. I wanted everything to go well and it did.
Best Tubal Reversal Doctors: Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith
Dr. Monteith made us feel very comfortable and he made sure we understood everything about the tubal reversal procedure.
On the day of my surgery all the staff was so wonderful and caring. I do not remember much after the surgery, but the feeling afterward is an experience we will never forget. The day after my surgery I felt great and I was walking around without pain or soreness.
Robert and I want to thank Dr. Monteith for making me feel whole again and giving me a chance to bring life into the world again. I want to thank Nurse Fran for being so kind. Now everything is in the hands of God.
I would recommend A Personal Choice to anyone who is considering having a tubal ligation reversal. Everyone made us feel as if we were family and for that we are so grateful and thankful.
