in Chesapeake, Va. Dr. Long is my usual gynecologist, but she no longer performs surgeries, so referred me to Dr. Busch. A bisalpingectomy performed laproscopically. I am 30yo, married, and child-free. Dr. Long has known (and supported) my child-free status for years, and at each appt would ask me if I still was, and if I wanted to proceed with surgery. As soon as I said I was ready, she did her due diligence of suggesting other birth control methods/asking if my husband would get a vasectomy. She then scheduled me an appt with her colleague Dr. Busch. Dr. Busch also did her due diligence, including asking why I wanted the surgery. She did not bingo me, just confirmed that I knew my options and the risks. I was placed on the 30-day waiting period and had my surgery date a month later due to the surgical wait list. She also asked and got the hospital to agree to let me take home my tubes so I can keep them in a jar!
