how safe is a tubal reversal?

I made a mistake of getting my tubes tied when I was younger.  I now would like to have my tubes reversed but are there any drs that would do the procedure?

My sister had a tubal reversal in the US after having her tubes tied for 12 years.  She had the surgery when she was 35 years old and after 3 miscarriages, she finally gave birth to a beautiful baby girl when she was 36.  I think it's safe..just do research on your doctor!!!  Good luck!

The tubal pregnancies have nothing to do with Dr. Perez.  The tubal pregnancies are a direct result of the tubal procedure.  Any doctor that performs these has the same statistics that are present within this group.  The only difference from what I can see is that Dr. Perez has a higher rate of pregnancy after the reversal than most other doctors.

I had a reversal by Dr. Perez several years (8 years) ago but was originally going to go to a clinic in the US.  I was told that my chances of conceiving (by the clinic in the US were less than 5%) after speaking with everyone in Rio Bravo I was convinced that no one can really know what my chances would be so I went and had the surgery.  I became pregnant right away but miscarried.  I had several miscarriages after that but found out after genetic testing that it had NOTHING to do with Dr. Perez or the surgery.  I miscarried because of my DH.  Things have changed since the original surgery and I am remarried and just gave birth to a beautiful little girl so.... don't bash Dr. Perez without doing your research fully.  Tubals can happen NO MATTER where you go for surgery.  I guess I should note that one of the miscarriages I had was a tubal and I lost my tube and ovary so the fact that I was able to get pregnant again was a miracle in and of itself but my doctor checked during this procedure and said that Dr. Perez did an EXCELLENT job!

Please dont have your tubal reversal done in Mexico by this doctor. If you research the website there a lot of women who have a high rate tubal pregnancies because this doctor does not use the start of the art precision instruments that we have in the states. Your also putting your life at risk by going down there. Look at all the violence on TV. Do you really want to risk your life and the life of one of your family members. Their website will tell you how safe it is just because they want you to spend your money there. Dont do it. Dont risk it. You only have one shot of restoring your fertility.
