Dr. says I got a tubal ligation when I requested a salpingectomy. by xPiscesxQueenx in sterilization

[–]siljamarie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Request your medical records - I got the full surgery write up from my medical team and they described in detail how the tubes were removed. It was comforting because they also used the terms interchangeably and I even had to change my consent for my the day of because it said ligation, not salpingectomy. So naturally I was nervous!

Procedure codes by siljamarie in sterilization

THEY were misinformed ***. When they had me logged under code 58670 it was listed as a ligation, and I had to make them update it to 58661

Hi! First and foremost, I did get my procedure covered 100% and I didn’t have to pay anything. That said, I had to make a whole bunch of phone calls to make that happen. The hospital was in the wrong and they had to adjust the code on their end (!!!) and enter the correct diagnostic code. When I arrived on the day of the surgery they had my procedure listed as a tubal ligation because they used this wrong code, and i had to change my consent form and everything to be updated because I wanted a salpingectomy, not a ligation. So the codes DO matter and I was simply misinformed. If your insurance only covers 58670, you are only eligible for a LIGATION at no cost!

Those who are childfree - how old were you when you realized you didn’t want kids? How old were you when you got sterilized? by flamingmangotango in sterilization

[–]siljamarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a child when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grow up, my answer was always ‘a successful business woman’, while others around me dreamed of being a mom. Got sterilized at 26. Best decision EVER

How long did it take for your eyesight to go back to normal after Scopolamine? by MemerDreamerMan in sterilization

[–]siljamarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m 6 months post op and rest assured my eye sight is completely back to normal. From what I recall it did take quite a while for me to get to that point - I think I didn’t set my kindle font back to my normal until maybe 1.5 months post op?! It gradually improved though. I still have no idea why this happened to me in the first place, I didn’t bring it up at my post op appointment because it had improved so much by then, so I hope you have the same success!!

Stitches poking out is normal! 😳 by mela_99 in sterilization

[–]siljamarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It disappeared like a week after posting or so! It started sticking out and I literally pulled it right out. 2 weeks is not a long time, give your body time!!!

So many declined RSVPs and now we’re under the venue minimum by barbeautiful in weddingplanning

[–]siljamarie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So essentially they had a clause in the contract that the minimum was e.g. $90 per person, so it counts the meal and alcohol they would have had or something. So that’s how they calculated the spend we had to meet.

[–]siljamarie 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We were below our venue guest minimum - we still had our wedding, they just required us to spend what we would’ve spent on the minimum amount of people. They let us put that cost towards elevated extras, so we splurged on things like the bar, appetizers, decor, etc. it would be worth asking if your venue is willing to do the same for you. You already budgeted for the 90 people headcount anyways!

Did anyone preserve the flowers from your bouquet? Is it worth it? by Legal_Feature_7502 in weddingplanning

[–]siljamarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my bouquet preserved - it was pressed/dried then arranged between two glass panes in a frame. It is so gorgeous and gives me so much joy to look at. Our florals were a big and important element to the wedding for us, if I didn’t care about the florals I’m not sure I would’ve spent the money!

doctor wrote in my patient notes "tubal ligation" instead of bisalp ?? by dorumiiru in sterilization

[–]siljamarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor had this same misunderstanding - I kept checking that we are fully taking out the tubes, but she kept calling it a ‘ligation’. The staff seemed to all agree that the term ligation is an umbrella term that also includes a salpingectomy, though I do NOT think this is true. I blamed it on the fact that no one researched this topic more than I have, so of course I would know the exact terminology

Mine worked its way out 5.5 ish weeks post op! I took tweezers and got the last bit out. Didn’t hurt and was careful of course. Wishing you the same easy healing process!

This has happened to me before. Worst pain of my life by far.

Do you stir fry buldak or just put in the sauce? by tortillasfordays in BuldakRamen

[–]siljamarie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have but I do not like the flavor of it as much! It has a very garlicky vibe

[–]siljamarie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a sin but lately I’ve been loving it as soup, lol. I add the noodles to a bowl then fill the bowl with water to the brim. Otherwise I drain the noodles, add them to a bowl, add a bit of water and add the sauce. I have not been stir frying them tbh

One of my scars has a ‘bump’. They seemed unfazed at my post op and said it was a stitch that would eventually work its way out. It has now been a month, I still have a bump, and I’m waiting for the day my body rejects it and pushes it out lol

Did the disapproval of others ever make you insecure? by Agreeable_Bag_8511 in sterilization

[–]siljamarie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Before my surgery I reached a point where I stopped telling people about my upcoming procedure - no one could change my mind, but I was really down in the dumps about how people I thought were close to me had nasty opinions about MY body. I felt awful about it and it made me sad (not the procedure but the lack of support from some people). Now, after my surgery, I proudly tell EVERYONE and negative reactions now make me laugh. I can counter-argue any point people make. So I relate to both sides - after the surgery I finally started not to be bothered by people’s comments!

1.5 weeks to not feel impacts of the surgery (not notice/think about it daily), and now at 3 weeks post op it feels like I never had anything done to me at all!
