Tubal Ligation Reversal Doctors and Success

You are doing all this because you want a baby, right? So what kind of success do these tubal ligation reversal doctors have? They can give you their statistics, right?

What I think you will find in many cases is that these tubal ligation reversal doctors will quote industry standard statistics. Does that mean they don't collect their own? Or does that mean they have something to hide? How are you going to know which tubal ligation reversal doctors are good if you can't see or learn their individual success statistics? This is another place that a website comes in handy.

Cost of Tubal Ligation Reversal Doctors

Bet you thought this one should be first when collecting information from tubal ligation reversal doctors. And I know it's important especially as you probably will have to pay for it out of your pocket. But amazingly tubal reversal cost may not be the deciding factor.

However, you might be surprised to find you can locate very highly trained and experienced tubal ligation reversal doctors for incredibly reasonable amounts. Well, there very reasonable considering it is specialized surgery. Just keep looking around gathering information and don't let any local tubal ligation reversal doctors snow you with some large price tag just because they are local. You could find that by the time you pay for a trip elsewhere, you still are paying less. Count in all the expenses.

Tubal Ligation Reversal Doctors - Communication Part 2

Forgot to cover this in the last post about questions for tubal ligation reversal doctors. While I talked about how well they communicate with you before you are their patient, you should also try to find out how they are about communicating after the surgery.

You would be shocked to find out that some tubal ligation reversal doctors don't even want to hear from you after the surgery. If something goes wrong or if you just have a question, can you get an answer from this doctor? This is where being able to see the interaction on a message board comes in real handy.

Another thing you might want to check out is about the follow-up each tubal ligation reversal doctors website says they will do. Do they check in with you at set time points following surgery to see how you are?

Tubal Ligation Reversal Doctors - Communication

If you have been gathering the information to answer the questions in the previous posts from each of the tubal ligation reversal doctors, you may have already run into this. Strange as it may seem, you will find that some doctors just don't communicate with their potential patients. Seems like lousy marketing, doesn't it? But this is the reality that some tubal ligation reversal doctors just will not return calls.

And if you are lucky enough to get a return call (was it days or even weeks later?), what was the attitude of the staff person who made the call? Sure, everyone can have a bad day now and then but that person represents the surgeon and should be on their best behavior when contacting potential patients.

As you are reading this post online, another thing you should ask or at least find out is if each of the tubal ligation reversal doctors has a message board or forum where you can "talk" to other women and get your questions answered. Even better is if the staff has a solid presence on the message board as well answering questions and giving congratulations.

Tubal Ligation Reversal Doctors and How They Perform

While many of us would probably just leave this consideration up to the doctor we pick from all those tubal ligation reversal doctors that are available, I think you should at least know a little bit about what each does in surgery.

Some are not going to care about whether it is done via laparoscope or through a larger bikini incision. However, which lets this surgeon do his best and what are his reasons for the method he has chosen? You may find there are very good reasons for a more hands on approach.

How does each of the tubal ligation reversal doctors stitch your tubes together? How does he put the layers together? And last, but certainly not least, how does your choices from that list of tubal ligation reversal doctors determine that there is no blockage after the fallopian tubes are sewn together?

Experience of Tubal Ligation Reversal Doctors

The last post ended with questioning the amount of times any surgeon on your list of tubal ligation reversal doctors may do this procedure in a year. That leads into the next question you have for each doctor on the list. What is his experience?

How long has each doctor on your list of tubal ligation reversal doctors been practicing and performing these surgeries? And in that time how many tubal reversals has he done? If you go to a local doctor who says he will do it for you, are you getting a truly experienced surgeon?

My belief is that you will be better off learning which one of the tubal ligation reversal doctors actually perform this surgery every week. If they have been doing that for years, you are going to have a doctor who is well experienced and knowledgeable about what to expect.

Tubal Ligation Reversal Doctors and Training

This can be a very important consideration. But then all this information you will gather from the tubal ligation reversal doctors on your list for consideration are important. You don't want to make such an important decision with incomplete information.

These days even reproductive endocrinologists are not being trained in tubal reversal surgery. They are very lucky indeed if they even see one throughout their whole training cycle. That's why these questions are important.

So what is his or her education background? What schools did they attend? Once out of med school, what type of training have they actually had in this specific field? Have they even seen such surgery during their training? Have all or any of the tubal ligation reversal doctors on your list trained under someone who does this as a career?

If you think this answer may be leading you toward a tubal ligation reversal doctor who does only this procedure, then you're right. Who do you want? Someone who specializes in this or someone who does one or two a year? This is very exact surgery.
