Reddit Testimonial (r/childfree)

Bilateral salpingectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (so cervix and uterus). She did not try to dissuade me that I would regret it at all beyond mentioning while going over consent forms that due to the fact that I am young there might be a bigger chance of regret. I am 21 years old, in an open relationship and childfree. I scheduled my surgery 2 months out, it was the soonest date. With my insurance (BCBS) there was no cost for surgery and the first follow up. 


+1 Dr. Kristen Patskowsky.. Female sterilization. I got my fallopian tubes cauterized. 23yo, in relationship with boyfriend for 3 years, no children. It was as easy as baking boxed cake.
