you are looking for a gynecologist who specializes in tubal ligation reversal. not all ob-gyns perform this procedure so you may have to spend some time finding just the right person. it's worth noting tubal ligation reversal isn't successful in all cases. women who had tubal ligation using rings or clips generally seem to have the best results from reversal surgery. older women who had large sections of the fallopian tube removed may have less success with reversal. reversing a tubal ligation is not exactly "easy. " the process involves a number of pre- and post-operative steps. the surgery itself is generally performed under general anesthesia. the post-surgery pregnancy rate can range from 40% to 85%. i mention these things for women reading this post who may be considering having their tubes tied. make sure it's something you absolutely positively want to do because it's not a decision you can easily reverse. tubal ligation is intended to be 'permanent' birth control. if you have doubts about whether or not you really want to give up the ability to have children in the future then i suggest you opt for an intrauterine contraceptive device (iud) or something non-permanent. you can always get your tubes tied later. wishing you well!
