Tubes tied at same time as RNY????

Well being the good patient I am I went to my OBGYN to get BC before RNY. We have been winging it here LOL so this is for the best anyway. So he said seriously if your surgeon is so worried about you getting pregnant why doesn't he tie your tubes at the same? I said hmmm I don't know that he does that? He said if he is a general surgeon I am sure he could do it. BTW I didn't like this guys bedside manner he said all this while talking to my back I had my neck turned to see him until I realized he was a jerk. No bedside manner zilch nada! So he said the IUD or this rod thing are my other options where they put these rods in my tubes and scarring makes it so the eggs won't pass. I looked at both these and don't want to do them. I am curious did your surgeons offer to have your tubes tied? He said the only obstacle would be if when he puts the port in if he could get to the tubes.
I think the guy is a quack but it got me to thinking and I will ask the Dr at my next appt with him.

 I wasn't given that option, but I'm planning to get pregnant a couple of years after surgery. My daughter needs a playmate! LOL

I did opt for the Mirena IUD since I won't have to remember to take it and it's supposed to help with the heavy bleeding. 

I would think you'd want to see someone who specializes in OBGYN surgeries, right?

my surgeon only does open. He did my RNY, yanked my gall bladder, would have yanked the appendix if I still had one, and offered to tie my tubes! LOL

I think it all depends on how long you are going to be under anesthesia but it sure can't hurt to ask.

Judi your Dr sounds like he would have taken it all LOL

We have 4 kids already we flew past our original goal of 2 HAHA. But at 4 we are done college isn't getting any cheaper! Hubby is scared to get his snipped I gave birth 4x buddy get it done but if he won't I have to get my tubes tied I am scared of getting pregnant after surgery.

Certainly ask your surgeon about it.

But seriously, hubby should get snipped.  It is a much simpler, less risky, less painful, less expensive procedure.  And it is not that painful.  

My partner got snipped several years ago and it was done in the doctor's office.  Might have taken half an hour altogether.  I talked the doctor into letting me watch the procedure and I thought it was really cool.  He got local anesthesia, like novacaine.  One side didn't hurt much but when they snipped the other side, the doc had to kind of dig around in there to find the little tube, and apparently that was painful.  My partner started laughing a little, this really weird laugh, which apparently meant it hurt.  But only for a few minutes.

Afterward, he was somewhat sore.  He put an ice pack between his legs off and on for a couple days.  After a couple days, he felt totally normal. 

And he is a big baby too.  He occasionally gets these long hair growing on his ear.  I offer to pluck them for him.  He squeals and says no way, like plucking one hair is the most painful thing ever.  But he did not think getting snipped was that bad.

I had the Essure procedure done with absolutely no problems and it wasn't painful at all.  Was very worth it. It has been 3 years now. No hormones involved which I like.

These surgeries are on polar ends of each other, are you seriously considering this? The recovery would be total agonizing hell!
I would be leery of any surgeon willing to do this. You should have a bariatric surgeon do your RNY and an OB-GYN do your tubaligation.
Good luck

I agree with Kelly, your husband should get snipped. It's a simple procedure done in the doctors office on a Friday and he is back to work on Monday. Tell him to man up!

I'm not sure if he could reach your fallopian tubes from a WLS incision. When I had my tubes tied in 2010, they went in through my cesarean, which is way down at my pubic line, below a bikini line, even. Your stomach, being just beneath your ribs, is quite a ways away.

Since your surgeon doesn't seem to have a specialty (you said he's a general surgeon, right?) he could, in theory, do two separate surgeries while you were under, I suppose, but that would depend on length of time needed, whether it's worth the additional risk, and whether your insurance will cover it.

I suppose it's worth it to ask if you really want it done, but a vasectomy is so much easier. If I hadn't had to be cut open anyway when I gave birth, my husband was going to have one. A bag of frozen peas is all it takes to recover from that, as opposed to an additional major surgery for you.

 Yea I keep telling him get snipped.....wow didn't realize they went in so low I thought my belly button for tubal ligation too. I am not even going to ask him I am not giving my husband a option. No sex without him getting snipped after surgery.
