I’m going to use this post as a place to collect questions about either tubal reversal or vasectomy reversal. Below you will find a place where you can add a comment. That’s where to put your question. In fact, I am thinking of making this post the only place where comments can be added simply for ease of administration.
Now there are some ground rules and some caveats.
Asking About Free Reversals
First off, as much as I would love to be able to help everyone, I cannot tell you where to get a free sterilization reversal. Don’t ask.
I have written a post about the possibility of finding some ministry that can help with this but they usually have some religious restrictions and you may find you still have to put up some money.
Personally, while I understand that things are tight nowadays, and that for some people things will always be tight, I don’t know why anyone should think they should get such a specialized surgical procedure for free. Doctors that specialize in these operations spent lots of time and money achieving their skills. Why do you think one should give more time and money away because you have had a change of heart about something you did to yourself? And, yes, I include money as each doctor would still have to pay staff, drug costs, and facility costs among other things.
While this might seem harsh, just think if your boss wanted you to work and get paid nothing. (That does assume you are not a stay at home mom or dad who does not get paid anything for all the important work you do.) You wouldn’t like that, would you? Having a husband who does have to give hours to his company for nothing, I get very upset by this opinion taken from either viewpoint.
If you find such a generous soul you are blessed indeed. Treasure that doctor.
However, don’t be surprised if you still find you have to pay the staff fees, the facility fees, the drug costs, and anything else. If you find a doctor like this, he is probably just waiving his own personal fees. I have found one such doctor once and it was a one time thing.
So don’t ask where you can find a free tubal reversal or free vasectomy reversal. I don’t have an answer and even if I did, it might change before I could even post it.
Comments Are Moderated
Secondly, all comments will be moderated. This is my way to catch spam comments and there are lots of them on the Internet. What this means to you is don’t add comments that say something along the lines of “Nice post. I’m going to bookmark this and send all my friends here.” as that is a common type of spam comment. I will not allow it to be posted.
Asking About Reversal Doctors in Your Area
While I know a few doctors who work in the sterilization reversal fields, I sure don’t know every doctor around the world who might perform such a surgery whether they are skilled in it or not. So don’t ask about finding a doctor in your local region.
Now if you want to ask about Dr. X, whoever that might be, go ahead and maybe someone else will see and can provide an answer.
Enough Questions on the Same Topic Equals a New Article
If enough similar questions come in I will try to find the answer and create a post on the topic. Hopefully that will aid a few people seeking help.
That is essentially what I am using this particular post for – to collect questions that I can provide the answers for in another article added to this site. So what do you want to know about tubal reversal or vasectomy reversal? Is it about the surgery itself and what happens? Is it about what to expect after the surgery either right away or as time goes on? Do you need ideas as to how to get financing for your reversal? Add your question in the comments below.
What Do You Want to Know?
Lastly, I have a question for you. Is there anything you want to see added to this site that is not about sterilization reversal? What I’m getting at is that the reason you want a reversal is so you can have a child. Is there anything associated with having kids that you would like to see added to the site? Or what?

Tubal Reversal Financing – Ways to Raise the Money
When deciding to pursue a sterilization reversal, the first roadblock many women run into is tubal reversal financing. If you don’t have a lot of cash on hand, just how do you go about financing tubal ligation reversal? After all, even finding a low cost surgeon, and there are a couple surgeons who are great and available at a low cost respective to the average, can still run you a few thousand. So let’s look real quick at a few ways that you can go about financing tubal ligation reversal today and we’ll take a look at a few more later this week.
First Tubal Reversal Financing Method – Saving for Your Tubal Ligation Reversal
Perhaps the best way is to simply save for your tubal reversal surgery. Not very glamorous or quick but it can be sure. However, I would highly suggest a separate savings account for your tubal reversal separate from your family savings account as a means of financing tubal ligation reversal. Why? Because it becomes too easy to mix up the money that has been set aside for your surgery and whatever you have a savings account for in the first place.
Second Tubal Reversal Financing Method – A Second Job and Counting Your Pennies
Another method can be getting a job or a second job. Take whatever you make from this job and place it into your tubal reversal savings account. Maybe you will need to use some of the income just to finance having the job such as paying for your gas to get to work or buying the clothes you need to wear to work.
But anything that is left over from those expenses must go into your special sterilization reversal account. You will also have to be wary of spending any of this income on incidentals and luxuries such as a latte every day or eating out. An alternative to having to spend any of the income on gas and work clothes would be finding some type of work you could do at home and maybe online.
Third Method – Tubal Reversal Payment Plan
One variation on the savings account would be to look for a reversal surgeon who supplies a savings account at his office. Usually this will be called a tubal reversal payment plan and it works like a lay away plan. You just set up an account and send in a certain amount whenever you can. If you find an office that will do this, there will usually be a minimum amount required to set up the payment plan that is not refundable. That will pay for the bookkeeping they have to do.
This can be a great way of tubal reversal financing as it gets the money out of your hands where you can’t easily get at it for those little things that always seem to come up. I like this even better than a savings account. The Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is one such office that will allow you to set up a payment plan for $250, not to mention they have one of the most affordable tubal reversal surgeries available with the best doctors.

Tubal reversal surgery can have more than one function. While most women use it to reverse their tubal ligations so they can get pregnant again, there are some women who seek it out in order to get relief. And that is not relief of any guilt feelings that some may experience upon having their tubes tied. No, it is relief of the symptoms of Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome.
What Is Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome?
Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome, or PTLS, is one of those nasty little things that happen to some women who get their fallopian tubes tied. There’s some argument as to its cause among those medical professionals who believe it exists. Perhaps the bad thing is that many medical professionals don’t believe it exists.
And that can make it hard on a woman who is suffering from several of the possible symptoms. You have excessive bleeding, longer duration bleeding, severe headaches, hot flashes, mood swings, terrible cramps bad enough to keep you in bed, and loss of libido.
Will Your Doctor Help You With Your PTLS Symptoms?
Going to your doctor to seek help won’t do you any good in so many cases. Why? Because you’re likely as not to have a doctor of the unbelieving persuasion who tells you anything from you just have to live with it to suggesting you seek a mental health professional to help you with your obviously overworked imagination. OK, I exaggerated a little with the last to make a point.
However, you might be lucky and have a doctor who will put you onto birth control pills to try and mediate your symptoms. Uh, didn’t you have a tubal ligation so you didn’t have to worry with taking pills? Sometimes they help. Sometimes not.
Or your doctor might suggest you are simply entering menopause early. Yeah, right! At 33 or even younger, you are entering menopause.
Even More Surgery to Get Rid of Your Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome
Then there’s the doctors who want to fix your Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome with surgery to remove your uterus and ovaries. Yes, we’re talking a hysterectomy here. In fact, women who have tubal ligation have a much higher chance of having a hysterectomy later than the normal population. Wow! Two surgeries to try to fix things. Too bad you don’t get two for the price of one.
Can a Tubal Reversal Help Your PTLS?
However, there is one thing you can try to relieve your PTLS and that is a tubal reversal. Since this is a tubal reversal, or more precisely a sterilization reversal, site you knew that was coming.
In one small study conducted by a leading tubal ligation reversal doctor with his patients, he found about 90% had relief from their post tubal ligation syndrome symptoms. You can find the news about the study here: http://press.tubal-reversal.net/2008/post-tubal-ligation-syndrome.html.
In another post we’ll put together a list of some of the most common tubal ligation side effects that make up Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. In the meantime, if you are suffering from this syndrome, you may find your best option for relief lies with a tubal ligation reversal doctor.
