She writes, "Has anyone scheduled their surgery BEFORE they were at the BMI limit?" Dr. Berger and Dr. Monteith require patients to have a body mass index of less than 35 at least 3 weeks prior to the date of their tubal reversal surgery. This policy is for optimal patient safety when undergoing outpatient tubal reversal surgery. If your body mass index is 35 or higher, we recommend progressive weight loss through diet combined with regular exercise such as walking daily. Fasting, limiting fluid intake, or using diuretics to lose weight immediately before surgery should be avoided to minimize the risks of surgery and anesthesia. Excessive weight when you become pregnant also increases the risk of pregnancy complications.

250) Is Your Tubal Clip Missing After a Tubal Ligation?
A member of the Tubal Reversal Message Board asks, "Has anyone had a tubal reversal and had them find one of your clips missing from the tubal ligation? if the clip were to come off after the initial TL procedure where would it likely go; could it end up in the uterus? How would you know if it did? What problems could it cause if it fell off and it isn't found?" Tubal reversal doctors with experience, such as Dr. Berger or Dr. Monteith at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center, have seen many cases where a Filshie clip or Hulka clip are not on or near the fallopian tube at the time of a reversal of tubal ligation. After the clip is placed on the tube during the sterilization procedure, the tissue which is between the clip dies. As this happens the clip may come loose when the tubal segments on either side of the clip separate (similar to how a baby's umbilical cord clamp falls off after a few days). This does not create a problem and the clip cannot wind up inside the uterus. It is useful for a patient to know when this situation occurs. If she has an abdominal x-ray subsequent to the tubal reversal procedure, she will know that a clip will be seen on the x-ray and also that it is not blocking the fallopian tube.
