Nervous. Paying my deposit Friday!

Desiree

So I haven't had my tubes reversed yet, hope it's ok I'm here. I have decided to go with Dr. Monteith and I'm putting the deposit down Friday. I'm worried I'm picking the wrong Dr. only because I want this so bad!! My husband doesn't have any biological children, he's adopted my kids and they are his in every way possible but we want to have a child together and I'm scared of making the wrong choice. There's so many doctors out there. How did you choose and know it was right for you?

Hi, I had my reversal with Dr. Monteith on 2/5/2018. I definitely recommend and trust him and staff. We drove 5.5 hours to them and there are several reversal doctors locally, but not with his success rate and experience. I’d do it all over again ! They all were so patient and helpful, before and after surgery. I had pain the 1st few weeks, and still feel some tenderness and soreness if I move certain ways or have a full day of activities/work. But nothing unbearable. I had bad post tubal ligation symptoms, heavy& painful periods, etc. immediately after tubal, wayyyy better periods, back to my pre-tubal periods ! I feel whole again ! We are also not preventing pregnancy so, I hope we are blessed with baby #3!

Had my reversal with Dr. Monteith 1/9/18. He and his staff are absolutely amazing! We flew from Nevada. I was pregnant in March however had a chemical. Nothing for April... but here is hoping May will be my month :)

Dr. Monteith did my TR 11/14/17. I agree with the other ladies. He was absolutely wonderful and staff were more than accomadating. I too did my research and chose to fly from Arizona to go to him in North Carolina based on his success rates. I had no pain at all. I am a nurse practitioner and was back to work in 5 days. He stated we could do the baby dance as soon as we were comfortable. We are still TTC but are optimistic we will be pregnant by cycle month 12. You have made an excellent choice and baby dust to you.

I used Dr Monteith also. Had my reversal in Oct 2017. No BFP yet. I absolutely loved the surgeon and staff. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. He also has a high success rate. That's why I chose and stuck with him even though two surgeons popped up in my area afterwards. Best of luck to you.

Thank you! I'm a nurse in the ER so my job is very demanding. I appreciate the info. I don't have anyone but my husband to talk about this with, having this group is gonna help!

I was out walking around the mall the next day. Honestly and maybe my pain threshold is high but I didn't hurt badly. Over the next 2 days, I was able to stop with my meds. I just made sure to take it easy. He shoots lidocaine directly into the incision so I was numb for a while. I ended up being off 4 wks, not because I needed it, but because my job doesn't have light duty.

Thank you for the info. I've been looking since September of last year and I just feel he's right for us. It'll be a 16 hour drive but so worth it!! There's a place closer but I just don't feel the same with them.
