[quote=Anonymous]I had this procedure several years ago.  I have a strong family history of ovarian cancer, which often isn't caught until it's very advanced, and recent studies have shown that the most aggressive forms almost always start in the tubes.  So mine was due to this reason and not for birth control.  Surgery was easy and recovery was as well.  It's a laparoscopic surgery where gas is used to inflate your abdominal cavity, and the most uncomfortable part of recovery for me was waiting for all of that gas to exit.  I had had a laparoscopic surgery before and this one was similar.  I did get a UTI following the surgery, which was likely due to an error or lack of sterility when my catheter was inserted (which happened after I was already under anesthesia, so I have no memory of it).  That was the most annoying part of the entire experience.

Overall I'm very glad I did it.  No notable changes in my cycles since.  No scarring either (silicone scar tape works very well).  [/quote]
