Hi maz, thanks for responding. Do you mind telling me what kind of tubal ligation method you had? Its just my tubes are damaged and Dr Cooper in Sydney will do it but I really can't afford it. I'm in Nth Qld. The method I had done was a cut and tie but they cut it very close to the fimbrae. Thats great you had it done in public and most of them will if it is a simple clip removal. Anyway hope to hear from you soon!
