Getting my Tubes Tied and have Health Concerns

[Boldyloxx]

Hi Shellly! I am new here, and am a regular member over at Curezone.

Congratulations on your forum!!

Well, i just had a question for now. I'm going to be getting a Tubal Ligation on January 7. I am concerned about health consequences from this. I am basically getting sterilized because I am sick of being on birth control these past several years-- with all the physicall symptoms I experience from even low dose birth control.

My boyfriend and I have discussed alternatives- and I felt just getting sterlized would be good for me. I am 41 now and dont wish to have any children. We arent highly sexually active to begin with. I usually have sex about once or twice a week.

I am concerned about the toxic effects from the anesthesia used during the operation. I am also concerned that getting sterilized poses new health issues to my body that doctors dont tell you. What suggestions do you have to clean my body out from the toxins from the anesthesia? Any knowledge on wether getting sterilized is something women should not do?

I plan on bringing my own squeezed orange juce with the rinds and and pulp added to drink after they wake me up- as well as getting one of those cleanse drinks that cleanse the liver, colon, pancreas, etc..

Thanks for any advice.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

I have personal experience with this and have discovered no negative ramifications from the surgery. The aneasthesia IS difficult, it's the worst part really. The place I went to provided the orange juice, crackers, graham crackers... but it was a mistake to have any of it as I was throwing up for at least 3 hours upon waking.

I highly recommend that you eat a high-protein diet before and after and avoid blood thinners like ginseng, garlic, onions, ginger, aspirin for at least 3 days before the operation. Vitamin C, cod liver oil, nutritional yeast and wheat germ oil will help you recover very quickly - and recovery is quick. Just one day of misery from the drugs.

It would definitely help to have a clean liver and bowels, so if you've never cleansed your bowels do so before the op. A couple colonic irrigations would do the trick nicely. For the liver, get an herbal complex designed to dredge the liver of old drug residues such as Dr. Cabot's Livatone Plus or Liv.52. Drink the Cleansing Drink with apple cider vinegar and if you juice, go for carrot juice.

Post-op, a packet or two of EmergenC will help your electrolytes once you're done purging. The Rehyrdating drink (limeade with a dash of salt) will help replace fluids lost should you purge, but make sure to wait until done purging. If you want to drink OJ, be sure to dilute it. Resume the liver herbs as soon as you can eat normally. A coffee enema is the quickest way to get rid of the aneasthesia. Sweating is always a good help to the body, so a detox bath may be in order provided you've rehydrated properly.

Hope that helps!

I have had my ?tubes clamped? and have had no ill side effects on my health, in fact my health improved due to not taking the contraceptive pill any more. I am 33 and had my tubes clamped at 22 years old (due to health issues). I feel it was the best thing I ever did!
