WHERE TO STAY AND TRANSPORTATION
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
We would like surgery at our center to be considered more of a life’s special experience and less of a medical procedure.
To help with this goal, we have well trained staff who provide dedicated patient care in an attentive environment. We have also selected the best hotel for our patients in one of the best areas in Raleigh where everything required is within walking distance.
Recommended Hotel: Hyatt House Raleigh
We highly recommend patients stay at the Hyatt House Raleigh. This hotel is considered a mid-priced hotel. If you would like other hotel options then visit this page: Specially Selected Hotels For Dr. Monteith’s patients
The Hyatt House is located in North Hills Mall and is the closest hotel to our office.
All of the best restaurants, pharmacies, and shopping/entertainment areas are within walking distance of this hotel.
Patients who stay at this hotel will have the best experience because everything is convenient. Although the hotel is a short distance to our office, patients will require car transportation between our office and the hotel.
We advise you book your hotel as soon as you schedule surgery because this hotel is extremely popular and fills up fast. Reserving a room at the last minute can be difficult… so don’t wait.

Not sure what you are asking…you said in your comment you had tubal reversal…likely you meant tubal ligation but I am not sure.
If you are considering reversal for your symptoms you can send us your tubal ligation reports and we can let you know if you are a candidate. You can find out how to send us information by looking at our Contact Us page… http://www.tubal-reversal.net

Hello,
9/18/2014 is when I had my tubal reversal. Like the other women, I immediately felt my health as well decline. Low to no libido, pelvic pain, intensive and more frequent migraines, heavier cycles, staying fatigued, worse symptoms when it comes to my cycle having vomit about a week before my cycle and right after my cycle. Just a huge change. 2015 I had adhesion removed from both tubes due to the ligation. Months later issue never solved and was referred to gastroenterology, where they told me I had IBS. Wow!!! An guess what? Still the same problems.. I finally have a doctor who agrees with me after sending me to pelvic therapy and still nothing, trying birth control pills and still nothing. He refers me to his colleague, who just tells me today. I can only remove you a chunk of your fallopian tube, but I don’t do reversals. All this time I though I was going to finally have this done almost 6 years later I get told that I can have a hysterectomy or remove my fallopian tube after he agrees that I have post tubal ligation syndrome! No hope and all he had to do.was prove it medically necessary. I have my preoperative reports doctor, what do I do now?

We should be able to help you. We can reverse most tubal ligation procedures.
The first step to see if you are a candidate is to send us your tubal ligation reports to us 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 $6,900 total plus $150 to schedule and we are located in Raleigh, North Carolina.
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 $6,900 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.

I had my tubal ligation (filshie clips) via laparoscopic procedure approximately 8 years ago. Immediately after my procedure my health started to decline. I never felt the same after my tubal ligation. I’ve seen several doctors, specialists, and my last doctor visit was to an endocrinologist who concluded that maybe my early menopause was due to my tubal ligation. The tests performed, including an mri, did not reveal any underlying disease or illness that would contribute to my menopausal symptoms. I am convinced that my tubal ligation is to blame for my symptoms and believe that a reversal will resolve these issues. I am currently 46 years old and post menopausal, but still want to get a tubal reversal. Am I a candidate for tubal reversal?
Dr. Monteith
If you have gone through menopause then natural pregnancy is not possible.

Is staying in a hotel required if you live in Raleigh?

The chance of pregnancy after reversal averages 60% but depends on your age and the type of tubal ligation.
We should be able to reverse your tubes. You should consider our screening laparoscopy because of your history of c-sections and the possibility of scar tissue.
We charge $6,900 for tubal reversal surgery. You should send us your records from your tubal ligation for a free review. Sometimes patients cannot get their records. Even if you cannot obtain your records we would perform tubal reversal for you because we can reverse most tubal ligations most of the time.
Tubal reversal can be 60% to 70% effective. The other treatment to become pregnant is In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) and this treatment cost averages $14,000 and is about 40% effective for each try.
Tubal reversal is possible when you have a history of multiple c-sections. We have many patients who have successful reversal and pregnancy with a history of c-sections. The biggest concern with multiple (3 or more) c-sections is the possibility of severe scar tissue. If severe scar tissue exists then reversal may not be possible.
We estimate that about 1 out of 12 women with 3 or more c-sections will have severe scar tissue that can make tubal reversal more challenging and in some cases not possible. For these patients we offer a screening laparoscopy. You can consider this similar to a surgery insurance policy.
The laparoscopy costs an additional $1,750.
If you choose to have a screening laparoscopy we can look with a camera during the surgery and see if you have severe scar tissue. If you have severe scar tissue we can often make a different incision…so this can increase the success of your procedure. If your tubes are not repairable or the scar tissue is too severe then we would offer you a refund of your surgical fee.
