Has anyone had or planning on having a scheduled c section and a tubal ligation? I am wondering do you have to stay in the hospital for longer than the typical 4 days for CS? I am also wondering if you were paid for longer by FMLA or short term disability since it is 2 surgeries? Trying to get all of my ducks in a row and plan ahead...
I had a C in Sept and had a tubal...but to answer your questions No and No. I don't think it is considered two surgeries since you are already opened up and they basically take another ten minutes to do the tubal. Recovery wasn't really any different and there was no additional time off offered. I actually left the hospital a day earlier then my first C (3 days) mainly because I had a 17 month old at home and we felt we really needed to get home to him.
Just had mine 6 weeks ago. And the pp is right- no and no. There was really no extra recovery from the tubal- in fact, this has been my fastest/easiest recovery of the 3.
