Wow, I'm VERY impressed with this board. What an awesome way to network! Hubby and I are wanting the reversal. We can't find any clinics that SPECIALIZE in the reversal here in Arizona.........Are any of you traveling out of state for this procedure?

I live in Wisconsin. When you get ready to have the surgery (in the waiting room) you'll see a board with a map on it and that map has a pen placed in the hometown, for every patient. Women come from all over the world to Dr. B

Wow! How amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! So this obviously has been a good experience so far. I have to ask......how many times have you had to go back and forth? This seems awfully expensive.

Sorry..I had the same questions TR is tubal Reversal and TTC is try to conceive! when you are reading the posts, scroll down to the bottom of the page it will show you all the abbreviations..there are still some i dont know~

We took care of everything in one trip. We had our pre surgery consult the day before the surgery. All medical records and tests were done by my local dr. and faxed over. They also do phone interviews prior. The staff at Chapel hill has patients come from all over the world so they are good at guiding you through!

My friend also lives in Virginia about 5 hrs away from CH, so we went early and made a vacation out of it! Added in more to do to not waste those expensive plane tickets!

Good Luck

Welcome to the board~

Hi there,

Welcome to the message boards, you will find every answer to any question on here. The girls are very friendly and informative.

I had my TR on 06/30/08 and I travelled all the way from Kuwait in the Middle East, I am originally from the UK but I would've been prepared to travel from anywhere to see Dr Berger and his wonderful staff.

The operation is a breeze, they make you VERY comfortable, sometimes I forget I even had surgery I feel that good.

If you go ahead you will have your consultation on the same day or even the day before. If you book a 3/4 day stay at the Sheraton you will be fine. The hotel shuttle even takes care of your transportation to the clinic, they have patients nearly every day, not everyone posts on the boards so it is amazing how many others you see there.

Have you booked your TR yet? when you do, take a look at the post Waiting Room and ask them to add you to the list, it is very exciting to watch your waiting days reduce.

Good luck and once again welcome.

Nicola

Welcome s_fogle27,
If you scroll to the bottom of this page you will see a list of abbreviations, they are quite helpful! )
Our patients travel to Chapel Hill only once, for the actual surgery.
The entire preoperative process is done over the phone, by fax and email. It is quite a precise process and works quite well.
Our tubal reversal nurses are always available by phone or email if you wish to ask more personal questions.

Pam Mills, CRNA

I am TRULY overwhelmed (in a great way!) by the responses! How exciting is this?!?! I stayed up late last night trying to educate myself about the clinic. It sounds amazing. I have a strong feeling we may be new clients here.

Thank you ALL so much for sharing. I haven't booked an appointment. We are actually in the process of saving for the tubal. I saw they had a pre-pay option. What an awesome idea.....did any of you try that? If we have to get a loan, we will, but if at all possible, i'd like to avoid it.

Again thank you so much for your responses.....it meant a lot!

We drove from WI (16 hours) and would do it over again in a heartbeat! I had my TR 7/24/07..almost a year ago..Did have 1 M/C since TR (due to low progesterone we believe) but we are still optimistic and never give up trying! Good luck to you, the staff at CH is great! You have found the right place.

Hi everyone,

We traveled from Southern Cali to have our surgery done by Dr. B...my DH researched for two years while we saved, and Dr. B has the highest success rate in the Nation I think. Not to mention the people there are great and so helpful, and Dr. B is truly a gifted surgeon. We owe our 5th little princess to Dr. B

Good Luck!!!

Wow, it sounds like so many from all parts of the nation. I'm in the city of Maricopa. I think I can find flights at around the $300 mark. I couldn't imagine driving home after surgery across country.

Sounds like it's truly WORTH the travel though! My hope is to the procedure this coming March.
