Tubal ligation and gastric sleeve surgery

[mahickmore 31]

In doing more reading on gastric sleeve surgery I have come across some posts regarding not being able to have the surgery if there is too much scarring.

That said I had a tubal ligation in 1986 and wondering if anybody has had gastric sleeve surgery that had a tubal ligation?

I did call the Doctor's office and they said if it was just a small scar probably wouldn't be a problem.

Just trying to get actual cases.

Thanks!

Me...was never even mentioned to me that it might be a problem. I had also had my gallbladder removed a year before my sleeve surgery. No issues,

I actually had one 2.5 yrs ago it is actually in your favor if you have one. Bc the surgeon doesn't have to worry about you getting pregnant to soon after the surgery and having a sick baby. And on that note I had my surgery five months ago so it was just two year's after my tubeligation.

I had a tubal and this matter was never even addressed.

Your ovaries are nowhere NEAR your stomach. I mean seriously that would have to be some really in-depth scar tissue. There's a whole mess of intestines between your ovaries and stomach!! Where did you read this?

I think the only scarring in this case that could be a problem

Is of it had been done laparoscopically. But I've had four previous surgeries laparoscopically and I had no issues with my scarring

Both my tubal ligation and gallbladder removal were laptascopic and no issues

I do know the areas are not close inside the body!

But was just concerned since I do have a small scar in my belly button.

Since I am self pay I didn't want to go through all the time and expense if it was going to be an issue.

Oh oh I didn't realize it was the laparoscope scarring you were worried about.. No, still they'll find other sites for the scopes and tissue removal - they don't use the belly button at all.
