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.
If you have decided to have your tubal reanastomosis done by a premiere surgeon such as Dr. Gary Berger of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, your first question will be about the flight home. How soon after the surgery can you leave? Now, if you are questioning why you would fly somewhere else to get this operation done, you should check out the author's other articles on selecting a tubal reversal doctor or check the resources listed below.
You will have to spend at least one night at your hotel after tubal reversal surgery. In the morning, you should be checked by the doctor or a nurse. If you live within the continental U.S., you will then be free to fly home. So, you go home the day after the surgery. But, if you have further to travel, you would be wise to wait at least another day or two before heading back home.
Another question about travel after tubal reversal has to do with comfort on the flight. There are three things that are suggested to make your trip more comfortable. One is to have a small pillow that you can lay over your incision area to help provide support.
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.
You might want to know if you will need to get an appointment with your doctor when you get home. Dr. Berger answers this by determining whether you doctor referred you or not. If he did, then you will want to check in with him when you get home. If you are self-referred, then it is not necessary unless you want.
Lastly, you want to have some way to contact your surgeon with any other questions or concerns that come up, so the question is how do you get in contact with him. Although a phone number may be the best way for emergency concerns, for the not-so-pressing questions and concerns it is nice to have other means of contact. Having an email address you can send questions to or, even better, a message board you can contact the surgeon or his staff through is great way to get your concerns and questions answered. Furthermore, with a message board you can meet and talk with other tubal reanastomosis patients. - 15255
