After tubal reversal surgery, many women find they have several questions. Those who travel to their surgeon especially have questions regarding their return trip and after they get home. We will provide answers to four of the most common in this article about tubal reanastomosis.
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.
Now you know when you are leaving, your next thought may be about the trip home itself and what you should do to be more comfortable. You will find that a small pillow will come in handy to lay across your stomach area to provide bracing. It helps if your companion likes to keep you laughing, too.
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.
If it is available, a direct flight is the best way to go. Tell the gate attendant that you just had surgery and need to board before the other passengers. Contact the appropriate person to have a wheel chair or cart waiting to get you around the airport. If you must change flights en route, this will be very helpful.
Seeing your doctor at home is usually the next question asked after tubal reversal. You want to know if you need to make an appointment to see him. If he is the one that sent you to the surgeon, it might be a good idea to go see him when you get home. But, otherwise, it is up to you and whether or not it would make you more comfortable to do so.
