Xp from IFV: have you had a tube removed?

KissyfaceKate

Hi ladies! (SAIF ladies, I am reposting this since I think I remember some of you having a tube or both out, sorry about all the random backround lol, 2if ladies, it was suggested I cross post here too) So we are finally moving forward with everything, My doctor found me a gyn surgeon who reviewed my file and history blah blah blah...my tube DOES need to come out, and ASAP.He wasn't messing around when he meant asap, I had the appointment monday afternoon, when we left his office DH and I went to get some food...we were about to order and my phone rings and it's the nurse doing the prescheduling stuff...um ok, she told me he was booking well into June and I was bummed but like whatever, then she tells me he made me priority, and it would most likely be in next 2-3 weeks, OK I can handle that. Yesterday am she called me back, after meeting with him, he wanted it faster, so my tube is coming out Tuesday morning...OMGI am happy/sad/relieved/nervousI feel like I have to turbo clean everything, go buy new jammies( I HAVE to have new jammies before any procedure, I am supersticious) get groceries, go get my pre op labs..etc.....oh and we are like broke so I have to do this creatively lol!Anyways, hopefully this will stop my pain and prevent further miscarriages since it is twisted and pulling and leaking toxic(the dr thinks) goo. His other theory is that it's filled with endo and swells up periodically. FunI am sad it has to come out, i feel defeated, but its broken, and wont ever work again...also it is preventing us from reaching our ultimate goal!So, who has had a tube out? Same or Worse than a bad lap? What should I expect? Tips?He's also going to peek around, clean up any rogue endo that may have regrown and check for polyops and fibroids....He also was super funny, and goes " i see you have anxiety,and I can tell, don't stress, I am going to take good care of you, lots of drugs before during and after LOLHe also made it a point to chat with dh a bit, we both really liked himNothing obvious on fb, I just don't want to deal with all the nosy nellies at this point, vague messages or privates ones are always welcome! Wow, this got loooonnnggg. Sorry and thanks for reading!  I really appreciate the input.

My SIL just had a tube removed due to repeat ectopic pregnancies.  I don't believe it was too bad.  If I remember correctly she had it done lapriscopically and took a few days off work after to heal and recuperate.

Hope this helps.  I wish I knew more about what she went through, but she hasn't really wanted to talk about it too much.  Best of luck with your surgery and hope it helps you to feeling better and be able to get KU.

I had both of my tubes removed.  When my OB first went in laparoscopically she was only going to remove one, but then saw my other tube and had to remove it as well.  So my lapo surgery turned into one more like a c-sec.  One tube was twisted and had endo and the other had a paratubal cyst on it.  Like you, I was having pain associated with them.  I was in pain after surgery, but not as bad as a full c- sec. So glad I had the surgery done even though I ended up with both removed. I was very bummed, but at least the pain and discomfort was gone.  I was able to start my first round of IVF 3 months later. 

Be glad your doc is pushing your surgery date up.  Wishing you the best of luck and a speedy recovery.   Let me know if you have any more questions.
