| This picture guide is a fun way to discover how to get your tubal ligation reversed without having to read all that boring stuff on Dr. Levin's web site, much less the stuff he will send to your home for you to read. This guide sort of cuts to the chase and gives the boiled down, bare facts! Enjoy . . . come and get pregnant! |
|
 |
Call the Medical Records Department (or the doctor's office) where you had your sterilization performed. Send them a signed release requesting your operative note and pathology report from your tubal sterilization. On the release you need to include: the approximate date of the surgery, your name at the time of the surgery, your current name, address, phone number, date of birth and social security number. Ask them to send the records to your address. |
 |
Once you receive the records, separate out the "Operative Note" and "Pathology Report". Some types of sterilizations do not have a pathology report so don't sweat it if it's not there. |
 |
Mail the reports to: Richard M. Levin, M.D., PSC
One Medical Center Plaza
225 Abraham Flexner Way, Suite 501
Louisville, KY 40202 |
 |
. . . or you can fax the reports to 1-502-589-3842 |
 |
. . . then check your calendar to see when you can call Dr. Levin's office to do a "telephone consultation" if you live far away, or an in-office consultation if you live close. |
 |
Then call Dr. Levin's office at 1-800-766-0304 from far off places or 584-7787 for those of you who live within the area. |
 |
During this consultation, Dr. Levin will ask you a bunch of medical questions about your general health and your female system. |
 |
Dr. Levin will review your sterilization records and will then give you his best idea of your chances of a successful surgery. He will give you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you would like. |
 |
Once the consultation is over you will need to get your money together to prepay the surgery. If you don't have enough money, then you can check out ways to pay for the reversal at Get me some money dude. If that doesn't work then you can go back to Dr. Levin's web site to the 24 month prepayment plan. Print the document on your printer, sign and date it (your man too!), add a check for $258.35 made out to Richard M. Levin, M.D. for the out-patient procedure or for $279.20 for the in-patient procedure where you spend the first night in the hospital rather than the hotel. Each month send another check for a total of 24 checks and mail the check to . . . |

|
Once the last payment is made, call Dr. Levin's office at 1-800-766-0304 for out of region patients . . . or 584-7787 for local patients. |
 |
Speak to Nurse Venica . . . the one with the needle . . . |
|
and schedule your surgery. |
 |
When it's time to come for the surgery remember to pack very lightly. Nightgown and sweats, stuff that's loose and won't irritate your incision. |
 |
Fly or drive to Louisville. |
 |
For those who come from far away, please arrive the afternoon or evening prior to your reversal and check in at The Inn for Jewish Hospital. Get a good nights sleep, leave a wake-up call and either walk the block over to the hospital or take the shuttle so that you arrive at the hospital on time to check in at Registration on the ground floor. |
 |
After the nursing staff gets you ready for the surgery, Dr. Levin will answer any questions you have . . . do a physical exam . . . let you get some "feel good" medicine from the anesthesia doctor . . . do your reversal . . . let you awaken in the recovery room and then . . . |
|
shuttle you back to the hotel . . . |
 |
where you will eat, sleep and be not so very merry . . . |
 |
until you pop a few pain pills and doze off for the night! |
|
You can then fly or drive home 0-3 days later . . . as you see fit . . . |
 |
and when you get home, you will email (or call) us weekly so we know how you're doing. |
 |
You will do the "baby dance" whenever you want . . . |
 |
until the "stork" does his thing! (Is this getting deep?) |
 |
Soon the baby will come . . . |
 |
and crawl around the floor to make you all so very, very merry . . . |
 |
then you will sing praises to God for your miracle of birth. End of story! PS: If the Stork blows it and pregnancy doesn't happen within 6-8 months, you should contact Dr. Levin who will figure out what's up and help make your dream a come true!
