If you have had a tubal ligation during WLS, where are your scars located?
I have been reading everywhere that WLS increases fertility. This has not been the case for me. I have been trying for 6 months to become pregnant without success. Before I had RNY, it was extremely easy for me to become pregnant. My surgery was performed by a military doctor who repeatedly asked me prior to the surgery if I planned to have any more children. At the time I told him no. However, after researching the topic, I have changed my mind. When I signed the consent form for the surgery, the only surgeries that were marked were to have a LAP RNY, and remove gallbladder, if necessary. The surgery took 8 hours! Is this even a normal time frame? My gallbladder was not remover, but I'm beginning to suspect that I may have had an involuntary tubal ligation. The military usually has this attitude that they can do whatever they want to your body. My question is, if you had a tubal during LAP WLS, where are your scars located? I have 2 about halfway down my abdomen on either side, 2 about 2 inches above my belly button on either side, and one in my belly button. Is it possible based on where my scars are located to have even done a tubal? I would really appreciate any input or information to help put my mind at ease. Thank you!
