Reddit Testimonial (r/childfree)

I went through my OB’s office (Akermanmd.com), but heads up that while the NP Debbie (my OB) and Dr. Lao are childfree friendly, Dr. Akerman isn’t. Dr. Lao performed a bilateral total salpingectomy (complete removal of both fallopian tubes) in December 2021, and I was 23 with no children and unmarried. She asked why I was wanting to get one now I explained that I’ve actually wanted it for years but always thought there were restrictions like needing your husband’s permission, and she looked personally offended. ” From first appointment to surgery, just under a month, and Jimmy in billing was sent by the gods, bless that man.
