You may find you have several questions about what happens after tubal reversal surgery. In this article we will answer a few questions that arise and that you may have considered. Any other questions you have about tubal reanastomosis will be covered in other articles.
After the tubal reversal, how soon can I go home? You need to know this in order to make flight reservations before you even fly out for the operation. Since going to a well respected surgeon such as Dr. Gary Berger is probably the wisest choice you can make for your surgery, this is one question that is sure to come up.
If you live within the continental US, you can usually fly back the day after tubal reversal surgery, after being checked out in the morning by the doctor or one of the nurses. However, if you live further away, you should wait at least one extra day before traveling. It might even be better if you wait a couple extra days after surgery and look on it as your last chance for a little time away.
Now the next concern that is raised is about your trip home and your personal comfort. The first thing you can do to provide extra comfort is to have a small pillow to carry around over your lower abdomen that will provide some extra support there.
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.
One last thing to do is to try to get a direct flight. If however, you must change flights along the way, ask for a wheelchair or one of the "golf" carts available at most airports to get you from one gate to another. Be sure to tell the gate attendant that you just had surgery and need to board as you may be moving slower than usual.
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.
This leads to one more question about what you should do for any questions or concerns you may have after tubal reversal. If you have chosen Dr. Berger for your surgeon, not only is there email and a 24 hour telephone number, there is also a moderated message board available for your questions and to connect with other tubal reanastomosis patients. You will want to make sure your surgeon has some similar ways of contacting him or his staff and quickly and easily getting your questions answered. - 15343
