Do you have questions about what happens after tubal reversal surgery? This may be especially true if you are flying to another location to have the tubal reanastomosis. Below you will find four commonly asked questions and their answers.
One question that comes up is how soon after the surgery can I travel? This is mostly for women who decide to take advantage of the great rates and expertise of a tubal reversal doctor outside their home town. Many times, you will find that it actually costs less to have the premiere surgeon perform the operation at his tubal reversal clinic, Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, rather than have your local doctor do it. Sometimes the difference is several thousands of dollars.
You will have to spend at least one night at your hotel after tubal reversal surgery. In the morning, you should be checked by the doctor or a nurse. If you live within the continental U.S., you will then be free to fly home. So, you go home the day after the surgery. But, if you have further to travel, you would be wise to wait at least another day or two before heading back home.
Now you know when you are leaving, your next thought may be about the trip home itself and what you should do to be more comfortable. You will find that a small pillow will come in handy to lay across your stomach area to provide bracing. It helps if your companion likes to keep you laughing, too.
After tubal reversal surgery, you should be given some pain medication. Take this for the flight home. If the doctor allows, you might even add some ibuprofen to the mix. Discuss this with your doctor especially if the flight home is a long one or there might be some rough weather you will be traveling through.
It would be better for you to have no connecting flights on your way home. If you do that is just more aggravation with having to transfer from one gate to another and yet another plane to board and debark from. Speaking of getting around the airport, make arrangements to have a wheelchair waiting for you so you do not have to make the long walk to your gate. Additionally, tell the gate attendant about your situation (you just had surgery) and board the plane before others. You will probably be walking slower than your usual pace.
Your next question is probably should you get an appointment with your own doctor when you get home after tubal reversal surgery. This is up to you. If he referred you, then you probably should. If he didn't, then it's your choice and whether or not it would make you feel better.
Lastly, you want to have some way to contact your surgeon with any other questions or concerns that come up, so the question is how do you get in contact with him. Although a phone number may be the best way for emergency concerns, for the not-so-pressing questions and concerns it is nice to have other means of contact. Having an email address you can send questions to or, even better, a message board you can contact the surgeon or his staff through is great way to get your concerns and questions answered. Furthermore, with a message board you can meet and talk with other tubal reanastomosis patients. - 15438
