Status: Bilateral salpingectomy scheduled! ...10.5 years after my tubal ligation
After confirming insurance coverage on 3/7, I found myself experiencing hesitation about the additional surgery. Also, I have grief over not being able to get a salpingectomy back in 2013 despite knowing it was the better sterilization procedure. This grief is something I'll continue to process, even as I've decided to move forward.
On 4/24, after a month-and-a-half of unproductive overthinking, I finally decided to move forward and called my doctor's office. I wish I'd moved on this sooner.
On Thursday 5/2, I had my pre-op appointment, after which I signed the consent form for my laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy. There was only one consent form this time--no sterilization-specific consent forms.
On Monday 5/6, the surgery scheduler from my doctor's office called me with a date. My bilateral salpingectomy will be just over two months from 5/6. It'll be over 10.5 years after my tubal ligation.
Note: for unrelated reasons, I decided to postpone the endometrial ablation to a later time.
