    Default Tubal Ligation/ stomach muscles...

    I am 25, and I have been doing research recently on tubal ligation. This post is NOT about the pros/cons of getting this procedure, so please don't respond with that type of post. Thanks. Basically, I am quite sure that I am going to get this procedure, hopefully in the near future. I know that most women have little to no scarring after undergoing the procedure. However, I'd like to know what the effect is on the muscles of the abdomen? Do they cut through those muscles? Do they work around them/move them out of the way? If so, how difficult is it to regain muscle definition in that area after a tubal ligation? I have been working on my lower abs for quite some time, and I have decent muscle definition there. I want to know how surgery might affect that. If you have had this done, please let me know any information on it. Thanks!

    If the procedure is done laproscopically...then there should be no issue with abdominal muscles, as the incisions are approximately 3/4"long...placed below the belly button and just above the pelvic bone.

    I had my procedure done in 1993...so I am positive they are no worse now than then!

    I had it done. The actual incision was MAYBE 1/2 an inch.
    It had no effect on my stomache muscles at all.
    I had mine done in 2002 I think.

    I had one in 2003. They went through my bellybutton and there is maybe an 1/4 inch scar inside my bellybutton. Cant even see it. They take these crochet hook looking things, go around the mucles and tissue and hook on to the tubes, pull them up and clip them, stick them back in. Easy peasy. I think they even just glued my cut in my bellybutton shut. No stitches. I literally had NO downtime whatsoever. YMMV. They did it outpatient in under an hour.

    I had a laparoscopy done; obviously it's not the same procedure, but the cutting involved is still the same extent, if not more so.

    I'm still ripped as a washing board. Had absolutely no effect, though of course I went right back to my workouts as soon as I could - nothing more, nothing less than what I was doing before. Additionally, I was cut for an exploratory surgery, and the muscles healed in time; again, I got back to targeting the area in workouts as soon as I could with my doc's permission.

    The fact that you have good muscle tone now should help you get in shape more quickly.
