Tubes Tied

Do you think it would be possible for Dr. I or whoever to tie my tubes while they're at it??

Since I'll be under, I might as well get it done. Is that ever done???

I'm afraid to call in and ask because they document everytime you call them...LOL

 

Thanks!

I had my tubes tied when they did my RNY......My OBGYN was there, she did her thing then Dr. Baker did his....

If that is what you want I don't see why they couldn't do it. makes sense....why have two surgeries!

Good Luck!!

I just have my normal PCP and she wouldn't do the surgery because they are two different places. I wonder if I should consult with an OB at Abbott Northwestern?

Thanks ladies :)

 With an open DS, Dr. Buchwald offered to do that at no charge. I did not have it done, but I know it is an option. You would be best off to call Dr. I's office and ask specifically if he performs it or not. If your OB/GYN would need to be there, he or she may need surgical privileges at the hospital, and you would want to know that ahead of time.

I am pretty sure he won't do it himself but they will coordinate with an obgyn to do it.  It's not uncommon

I hope you can forgive me for chiming in here, it's the mother in me talking.

You're only 22.  WHY would you want to get your tubes tied???  Are you 1000% SURE you'll never want to have children? 

Just had to ask the question...

Darla,

I don't mean to offend you or any mother out there, but I despise children. The thought of having something squirming around inside of me makes me want to puke and I get the picture of that scene in Alien of that thing bursting out of that guy's stomach......*gags*.

I will be perfectly happy being an aunt. I don't have time, money, or patience for my own children, and frankly, I am too selfish to even consider having them. I have too many things I want to do with my life that children would ruin.

That's my stance. :) Please don't hate me :)

Oh hon, I do NOT hate you!!  In fact, I totally respect you for knowing yourself that well.  Too many people who SHOULDN'T have children keep pooping them out - I have a neice (by marriage, not blood) who had SIX by the time she was 24!!!  That's just wrong. 

But I've also known a few young women in my life who thought they'd never want to have children, only to realize later on that they really DID.

So, I sincerely do respect people who make a conscious decision to NOT have children, because the whole motherhood gig isn't for everyone.  You can't make that kind of a lifelong commitment just because of some societal expectation. 

YOU GO, GIRL!
