While many women live perfectly content lives after a tubal ligation, sometimes women change their minds later in life. At NCCRM, we’re happy to provide tubal reversal surgery for women who would like to grow their families. Patients who plan on traveling to our North Carolina Reproductive Medicine clinic for surgery should keep a few things to keep in mind to prepare.
Book Travel Arrangements
The first thing patients need to do is book travel arrangements. Those who are flying need to book airline tickets as soon as possible to get the best fares. Patients who decide to drive to their tubal reversal surgery need to make sure their vehicle is in good working order and plan the route. Patients who plan on utilizing a hotel near the area can find special NCCRM rates at local hotels here.
Get Your Documentation in Order
Next, patients need to get all of their documentation in order. This includes passports for international patients, driver’s licenses, and insurance information. Even if the insurance company doesn’t cover the surgery, patients can appeal it with a letter from the surgeon. Patients also need to ensure they have filled out and signed all the required paperwork from NCCRM. We recommend doing this ahead of time so that everything is ready to go when it’s time for the tubal reversal surgery.
Pack Your Bag
Now it’s time to start packing. We recommend patients bring comfortable clothes that are easy to get on and off as well as any toiletries or medications they may need. While the doctor will likely give patients prescriptions to assist with easing pain, they may also recommend over-the-counter medications for pain. Some people get a sore throat after surgery which is remedied with cough drops. Since patients typically can’t eat or drink after midnight the day before their tubal reversal surgery, most patients are hungry afterward.
