Got my tubes taken out at 23.

my insurance covered all of it and I only paid a $40 copay for the consult with the doc and following up with her.

I had to go to 6 docs over a 6 month period to find her, but it all very worth it lol. She also did my moms hysterectomy way before I tried sterilization lol.

I had a great experience, very little pain and I was in and out that day. I know a lot of people mention gas bc of using laparoscopic methods, but I don’t remember having any severe bloating or pain from it. I just have 3 tiny scars on both sides of my abdomen and one in my belly button. Not even really noticeable now and it’s only been 3 yrs. I took a week off work to recover and just chilled around the apartment.

I live in Florida. We’re not really “southern” here unless you go to the smaller towns (where the Florida Man is from), so we’re a lot more open minded than the states beside and above us lol.
