I have fibroid tumours that have to be removed, so because of this I've opted to have my tubes tied because I really don't endevour to have a litter of children. Three is plenty thankyouverymuch.

I was at the doctors for my preop appointment and we were discussing my options. Previously I had thought that ivasive surgery was necessary, two tiny incisions because it's just done with a scope.

However my doctor told me about a new procedure that goes in through the cervix and they insert coils into my fallopian tubes which causes the tubes to scar and close rendering me basically sterile (99.% effective which is the same if they were to cut and tie off the tubes)

I wasn't previously concerned about the incisions as they are very tiny ones and I've had much worse, however I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar procedure and might offer some advice.

Also I've never been put "under" before and I'm utterly and completely TERRIFIED of this. Any advice on that?

Love you all so muchly for any words.

I had a supercervical hysterectomy (laparoscopic) back in January because I was riddled with fibroid tumors. I was walking around the hospital the next day, driving within the week, and went back to work after 3 weeks.

I have to say that I was exhausted any day that I did more than just sit. I was told by friends and my dr. that it was because of the anesthesia, in some cases it can take up to 5-6 months to completely leave your system. After 2 months, though, I feel perfectly fine, and am only reminded of the surgery when I read your post, or someone I haven't seen in a while asks me how I'm doing.

That was my experience. I pretty much sailed through it.

Good luck with whatever you decide!
