A Member of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Message Board reported itching from her incision after having her tubes untied. Some discomfort or burning around the incision site may be experienced for several days after surgery. A “healing ridge or hardness” along the incision is a part of the normal healing process and will soften in several weeks. Rubbing Vitamin E oil over the incision will help soften and reduce itching. Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center is available seven days a week to help you and respond to questions you may have prior to tubal reversal surgery and after you have returned home from having your tubes untied.

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Message Board members discuss gastric bypass surgery and other forms of weight loss techniques. For patient safety and an optimal surgical situation, patients of Dr. Gary Berger and Dr. Charles Monteith are required to have a BMI below 35 in order to have tubal reversal surgery. Many of the women who are planning for tubal reversal surgery want to lose excess weight to gain better health and vitality prior to having surgery and becoming pregnant. Many patients come for tubal reversals who have previously had gastric bypass surgery and it is typically not an issue. Because of their experience reversing tied tubes, the tubal reversal doctors at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center are able to successfully perform tubal reversals in situations where other doctors might be unable - or unwilling - to perform the surgery.
