    Default Tubal ligation/tubes tied?

    Anyone here have tubal ligation surgery/tubes tied? I'm seriously considering it because I already have 2 kids. My last pregnancy was high risk and scary due to suddenly developing pre-eclampsia near the end. I had a traumatic labor and birth. I was told pre-eclampsia can return if I ever get pregnant again. I have nightmares about the whole labor and birth experience with pre-eclampsia. It was terrifying. Anyways, is getting your tubes tied an overnight hospital stay type of thing or were you able to go home the same day? How long was your recovery? Did you have bleeding after(I know, tmi)?

    I had mine tied as part of a myomectomy/uterine ablation. No probs, no additional time to recovery from the other procedures.

    I had my tubes removed instead of tied. I recommend that procedure. The surgery was only an hour and the recovery time was 2-3 days before I could go back to work (desk job). I went home right after the surgery. The total recovery is only 2 weeks and the scars are super tiny. I expect them to be basically gone in 3 years. Plus tubes tied is 100% effective. Removal is. LMK if you have any questions about specifics.

    Just be honest as possible when you talk to your doctors when you go in for medical appointments.

    I keep thanking God I have had decent gynecologists (who were all men BTW) & they always listened to me since I went through the trouble of educating myself about my ovarian cysts and health history.
