Tubal Reversal And Body Mass Index

Women who want to have their tubes untied often call and ask if there is a weight restriction to have tubal reversal surgery with Dr. Monteith at Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center. For Dr. Monteith, the patient’s safety during surgery is his number one concern. With a database of 10,000 Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center patients, Dr. Monteith can say confidently an important factor in maintaining safety and successful tubal reversal surgeries is the use of a calculation using a woman’s height and weight which is called body mass index or BMI. Body Mass Index or BMI correlates to the amount of body fat. Dr. Monteith found women with a body mass index or BMI less than 37 are the best candidates for successful tubal reversal surgery and healthy post tubal reversal pregnancies.
