I have to agree - I am 54 and though a baby sounds nice, the next 18 years doesn't. I already have 10 grandchildren....lol No, I have never heard of it.

If your tubes are tied and you want more children, go see your doctor to get them untied. Don't count on it to happen by itself. Getting pregnant after your tubes are tied can happen but that is the exception and not the rule. Good luck.

All depends on how old you are? If you're younger than 40, check it out with your doctors. If over 40 really give it serious thought.

My surgeon says to wait until you're at least 2 yrs post-op to begin to try for a baby. I haven't heard the surgery making you more fertile, although I have heard of it reversing conditions that can sometimes get in the way of fertility such as PCOS and irregular periods.

The surgery won't change the fact your tubes are tied. People who are over weight have some difficulty geting pregnant because of weight issues and so they are more likely to concieve. You would need surgery to reverse the tubal ligation you had done.

I actually DID get pregnant after I had my tubes tied (they were suppose to be cut and "burnt" instead of tied but...) I had them done in 2003 and had my third daughter in 2006. This was before the WLS so never say never!
