Has anyone else had sterilization surgery?!
Question: I'm 31, have one child and do not want another one ever. So I have a surgery scheduled in 30 days where they put clips on my tubes. It's permanent and all that, which is great.
If you have had the surgery- is it very painful? Did you have any odd side effects? The dr told me that hormones aren't effected. but i'm curious about others experiences. It's a laprascopic procedure.
Please don't give me advice about not doing it or anything. I'm happy with one 5 yr old, and i'm tired of taking the pill. I just want to hear from others that have had the surgery. Thanks!

I had my done 2001 and love it. I also have one son and he's 16 right now. My problem was that I can not or couldn't get my self to swallow pills. I have Norplant in, shots for birth control and finally decided to go ahead with the surgery. been married for 20 years and we only want one child.
not bad at all, first couple days doctor give you pain bills. no side effect for me. good luck
I had the tubal ligation done after my 2nd child back in 1986. There is not a whole lot of pain involved, my OB/GYN made a small incision just beneath the navel, clipped and tied off the tubes and cauterized the ends. Your doctor is right, your hormones and menstrual cycle isn't affected, and one of the good side effects is that you're no longer worried about getting pregnant so sex becomes all the more pleasing.
You may be tender in that area for a day or two, but in my opinion, it is really worth it.
I had a vasectomy 4 years ago. THey make a small cut to your sack and then trim out about a 1/2 inch of each tube. I took some asprins and was back to work the next day.
Good luck, it is the best choice!!!
