Tubal Reversal Our Journeys

Back book cover review - by Dr. Gary Berger of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Tubal Reversal Our Journeys was conceived so others can appreciate what this journey is really like as seen through the eyes of women who have lived it first hand. Author Diana Dickherber, a tubal reversal mother herself, succeeds admirably in this easily readable book. The true stories presented here belie the common and erroneous belief among the public and medical professionals alike that tubal sterilization is permanent and cannot be undone. In fact, tubal reversal surgery provides a second chance for parenthood to those who have made a past decision that they now regret. Reasons for the change of heart vary and include new marriage, loss of a child, religious or moral concerns, relief from post tubal ligation symptoms, or simply wanting to feel whole again. Reading through each succeeding chapter, one becomes ever more aware of the underlying spiritual themes having to do with life, love, and hope. According to Emily Dickinson: “Hope” is the thing with feathers – That perches in the soul – And sings the tune without the words – And never stops – at all. This heart warming book is about hope fulfilled. It should be read by anyone wishing to have a child subsequent to a tubal ligation.
