I am getting my tubes tied after this baby and I am scared. :yikes: Dr. Polko said that I can either have it done the day after I deliver this baby or immediatley after giving birth (and not have to be put under)

Does anyone have any feedback, what to expect, is it a longer recovery time, etc...


Thanks a bunch :howdy:

Tell Big B not to be a puss and get it done himself

I would go for it right after since the pain will already be there and if you get the epidural (sp) you might not feel it. I don't think the recovery time is much different. but ask your doctor what would be better

I know!!! my dad already told him he had his done and an hour later he was unloading a keg of beer off his truck :lol:

It's easier for him to have it done.

I have to agree with this! I had a tubal but it was done at the same time as a c-section but I would chose to have it done at the same time just to get it over with at the first chance, that way you are not thinking about it and enjoying your new baby :buddies:

I asked the Dr and she said some prefer to have it after and some prefer to wait until the next day :ohwell:

I am just not sure what to expect pian wise and recovery time. I am totally shocked that you dont get extra time in the hospital after havign that done either!

the only complaint I have heard from friends is a gassy pain in the shoulder afterwards.

Mine was done weeks after T was born. I wish I had done it right after because I remember the cramping was horrible and felt like I was in labor again.

After The Surgery
Speed of recovery from the surgery depends on your pain tolerance, the type of anaesthesia used, and your overall healing ability. You may have slight abdominal pain and tiredness. Less often, you may feel dizzy or nauseous or have shoulder pain, abdominal cramps, a gassy or bloated feeling, or general fatigue. If you had general anaesthesia, you may have a sore throat. You should not drive your car for 24 hours after the general anaesthetic. There are no other restrictions.

Most or all of these symptoms usually go away within two to five days, and most women return to their usual routines a couple of days after surgery. After that time you may feel tired later in the day, have slight soreness over the incision, and have minor changes in bowel movements. Your discomfort can usually be relieved with mild pain medication.

Sterilization in women is effective right away. Birth control is no longer needed. However, sterilization does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s). The procedure does not affect the menstrual cycle or your ability to enjoy sex.

You will still have periods after surgery. If there are menstrual changes following tubal ligation, this is probably because of aging or stopping birth control pills, but not because of the surgery. Tubal ligation will not cause hormonal changes

Yeah, yeah, yeah.. I'm calling out of work tomorrow with a gassy shoulder. :yay:

It's pretty common and very painful. :frown:

I got my tubal while already open for my c-section. They did do my gallbladder laproscopically and when I woke up my head and neck hurt worse than my stomach. :lmao:

same here but no pain other than from the c-section, maybe they filled you up with air too :lol:

They did when they sucked out my gallbladder but I suspect my head was in a weird position because I was dying for days after with a head and neck ache. Enough that it dwarfed any surgical pain.

This is the word that scares me the most :frown:

I know the after labor pains are worse w/ each child you have (the ones w/ baby Jack were almost like being in labor all over again) so I am nervous those along w/ pain from the tubal will just be too much for me.

You'll will do fine, I bet you have stepped on legos that hurt worse :huggy:

:huggy:

Do they still come in an punch your uterus if you get your tubes tied too? I was ready to deck those nurses when they did that. :mad:

I'm reserving my input until after Socki shares her opinion. :howdy:

I had mine done 12 hours after the baby was born. It was done in Florida and they made me wait the 12 hours. I wanted it done right afterwards. I was more than ready to leave the hospital after the 2 days I was there. :shrug:

Oh and thanks for waiting for my input. :huggy:

I wish i had mine done when i gave birth since i had a c-section. But i had it done three years later. It was scheduled on a thursday and i had 3 days to recover. My doctor says that was how he always scheduled them, early thursday mornings, and a long weekend to recover. If you know for sure you want it done ,get it done immediatley after you have the baby.

I am getting my tubes tied after this baby and I am scared. :yikes: Dr. Polko said that I can either have it done the day after I deliver this baby or immediatley after giving birth (and not have to be put under)

Thanks a bunch :howdy:

I would do it all at once.. My doctor wouldn't do it when I gave birth. Last kid was born in June and I had to wait until August. It was painful.

If it's an option I would get the man to do it. Much less painful and a quicker recovery time.

I asked the Dr and she said some prefer to have it after and some prefer to wait until the next day :ohwell:

Nope it's in and out.. It was same day surgery for me.. Went in early and out before dinner time.

I hope I get mine done right afterwards...

Had mine done when Daughter was 2 1/2 (in and out surgery). I decided by then that a boy and a girl were enough for me!! :lol: I have always had problems with anesthesia (:barf:), but other than that, I just had the pain in the shoulder from the gas. And I wouldn't say that was severe. It just takes time for it to be reabsorbed/dissipate in the body. Other than those two things, it was a breeze!! Felt better and back to normal with a couple of days.

It's called Band aid surgery for a reason. They literally put band aids on the incisions. It was NOT painful at all. I did get a dull ache in my shoulder from the gas but that was all. (Just to let you know I do not have a high tolerance for pain and I am a total wuss :lol:) I agree with the others who said do it all at once. What the heck you're already in pain right?

Make Big B read this thread and if he still wants you to do it, kick him as hard as you can in the balls.

It does go straight for the shoulder so the more you can walk around, the less pain.

I did that last night just for shiats and giggles :yay:

I had it years ago..the procedure itself was a breeze..relatively little pain and none of that cramping, etc. associated with the gas they use to inflate the abdomen. What I did experience a few years later was horrible endometriosis, the pain of that was worse than any labor I had. Since my first monthly cycle, I never had a ounce of trouble...all that changed after the tubal. Horrible cramps, and a lot of other awful side effects I'd rather not put out on the forum. :biggrin: Ended up having a hysterectomy about 5 years later after suffering horribly for almost 3 years. If I were you, I'd do a lot of reading and asking questions about the after effects of a tubal. There's tons of information out there - PTLS.

In hind sight, I'd make the guy get snipped.

I had the same side affects from my tubal, endometrious took over and fibroids. My period became a literal pain in the a$$! I started to become anemic because of it and was haveing to get b12 shots every other week. Finally after much complaining to my doctor about it and one abnormal pap later, they sent me for biopsy's...it was found that I also have cervical cancer...So...I kind of thank the endometriosis for its problems because if I hadn't of complained about that they probably wouldnt of found the cancer. I go the end of the month for a hysterectomy!

Thanks a bunch :howdy:

Congrats! I didn't know you were expecting! And I know nothing about tubals.

Gonna have a girl this time?

I got my done when i had my c section. I would just do it as soon as possible before you changed your mine.......lol!

I would love to have a little girl... but I just have a feeling it is another lil boy. I did however go through a ton of girl clothes that were given to me by a friend and that was so fun! I now have some boy and girl newborn stuff all ready to go for the big day :dance:

Uh no changing of the minds here :lol:

Do the tubal right immediately following the c-section, no sense in having to go through two surgeries...when everything is right there and you'll be so doped up on morphine, you won't care...My boss had her done immediately following and was very happy with everything... Ask for a tummy tuck before they close you up... I wish I had done a tubal after my daughter/c-section 6 yrs ago. Birth control pills make me sick, depo makes me nuts, and everything else is too scary... to include my husband getting snipped, the doctor saying he's good to go and opps his tubes fuse back together... I'd rather get the tubal and request a tummy tuck during the process :-)
