I got my tubes tied but now I want it reversed. Why don't people make things clear that you can only get it reversed with certain types?!?!
I wanted my tubes reversed because I had them tied after my third child with my now ex- husband. At that time I didn't want any other kids.
Well five years later and a divorce, I want another baby and I found out my doctor removed my tubes. This was not explained to me at the time it was done. I remember saying "I don't care what you do. Just make it permanent". I never said make it irreversible.
I signed papers which I've since seen but ... Is that really binding when I don't remember my surgeon explaining that my tubes would be removed and it couldn't be real versed? I kept saying I wanted a tube tie. I figured that meant that they would tie my tubes. They went over options and I picked the most effective permanent one but they didn't explain that I couldn't reverse it. It was in the information package but I don't recall them making that really abundantly clear.
I signed off saying I knew it was permanent but it says in another area that it would not be reversible which I think, those are two different things. Like I had a breast augmentation and tummy tuck and it's permanent but boobs can be reversible.
My one friend says I should sue but my other friend says that if I signed off on paper, that's more binding than my word. She said it's my responsibility to read what I'm signing.
Is there anything I can do?
