When I had mine cut, tied and burnt 3 years ago everything went smoothly for the most part. ( from the x-ray they did, you could see them cut and tied into a knot, I'm taking their word on they burnt them ;) )

The pain from the surgery was tolerable right after, I didn't even use any of the pain meds they gave me for the pain of the incisions. I did take Tylenol for it a couple of times ( I'm allergic to ibuprofen) on the first day.

I was "suppose" to wait until my next period before having intercourse ( I had my surgery done while on my period).

The only problem I had was the gas from the surgery "collected" in my legs. It was the worst pain I have ever been in!! The next day I couldn't stand up, walk or if I was standing.. sit back down. Any movement sent horrible pain shooting through me. I had to go back and get put on strong pain killers to even dull the pain until my body absorbed the gasses.. that took 3 days. When I talked to the Dr about the pain, they said that it was very uncommon for the gas to collect like that, but in a few people it does happen.

Even with my pain I had to deal with, I would recommend it to anyone who asks. I have heard that periods change in length or flows get heavier.. but for me there was no change at all. Its a relief knowing that I can be "with" my husband and not have to worry about getting pregnant.

It did take me about 6 months to completely except the fact that I would never have another child. I did have a few problems with that at first, but now Im really happy with my choice to have it done!

Just had my tubes "tied" a couple of weeks ago, mine was a little different because I also had a hernia repair at the same time. So my recovery took just a little longer then most, but with both surgeries I was up and moving around within 3-4 days. The tubal surgery didn't aggravate me a near as much as the hernia repair did. But I was ok'd to go back to work after 6 says off (again I had a double procedure but just the tubal was ok'd to go back after 3 days).

A little bit of pain but NOTHING you can't handle, and the #1 question I had the minute my eyes opened when can you have sex again i was told 2 weeks and guess what that was two days ago. I know TMI but its been 4 months due to complication from the Mirena so I was desperate to know. You will need to take it easy for a little while and while probably want to be on top to control weight and pressure but so far so good.

I don't think they do "tying" anymore. Not positive on that.

I had mine done a year ago. I have 2 tiny scars. One is in my belly button. The other is right under my hair line "down there".

I felt groggy and sore the rest of the day. I only took a few of the pain pills I was prescribed. I didn't need them the day after.

I don't remember how long it was before I had sex again. Maybe a couple of weeks. The dr didn't put me on any sort of restriction. It was just whenever I was comfortable.

Had mine done almost 5 years ago, recovery was easy. Totally not a big deal at all. Can not remember how long we had to wait to have sex but I feel like it wasn't a long wait?

If you can give birth, you will have NO problem with this procedure and the short wait time before sex.

Mine went well, although my tubes were soldered, not tied. I don't know if they still tie them anymore or not.

I was sore. I remember three small incisions. The one around my belly button hurt the worst. I wore loose pants for a little while.

I think it was awhile before sex could resume but I don't remember the exact time.

My recovery went really well and I know I had to wait until my next cycle to complete before we could engage in sex.

Had mine done in 2008.

Recovery was ok.

Up and walking around almost same day(minus being sleepy from medication).

I had a little incision above my belly button.

It was tender for a couple of weeks.

I did have trouble with my Period's. Still do to this date....I dont know for sure if it was the actually tube tying or just life....Alot worse cramps and PMS.

I never look back about it though.

My Parents were BOTH fixed, and I have a little sister 7 years younger then me.....SURPRISE! So nothing is ever 100% as my mom will say:)
