home from cerclage surgery!

lemen99

I'm home!! The doctor was able to put in the transabdominal cerclage as planned (laparoscopically) and was very pleased.  I was a little nervous since it's experimental but he is amazing at what he does.  I'm at home now (2nd day) and on pain meds but doing well.

We are allowed to TTC anytime but will wait a couple of months to recover and enjoy summer (since we were locked in all last year!)

If anyone ever has any questions feel free to email me

Laparscopic TACs get a bad rap but we're trusting our doctor. I'm tempted to start some kind of blog or site about our experience .

I'm glad that it went well! You should start a blog.  I am interested in reading about your experience.

If you don't mind me asking - did your insurance cover all/any of the TAC?

They told me they never have problems getting them covered (probably because cerclage surgery is much cheaper than NICU baby!).  I honestly didn't double check or into what % but I have great coverage.

Glad your home & doing well :+)

Congrats! Glad it went well! I never heard of doing a cerclage before getting pregnant... Definitely enjoy your summer!

I'm glad it went so well! A TAC is most definitely something I plan to look into if DH and I ever decide to TTC again. A friend of mine had one done after losing both her twins when they were born at 24 weeks, and this past week she delivered a healthy, full-term boy.

My doctor couldn't do them previously but now he can because he uses the Da Vinci robot.  There are advantages and disadvantages but he's a leading expert and thinks his is the way of the future. I loved that I didn't have to have a c-section (major surgery) when 12-13 weeks pregnant.
