That has to come from a man!!!

And it definately didn't come from a surgeon!

Tubal ligation/severance always involves a general anaesthetic and usually an overnight stay in hospital. It takes several hours to perform, and is not reversable. It has a recovery period considerably longer than a vasectomy, is considered major surgery and is not even remotely funny. You cannot get up and walk home, in fact, you can barely walk after 2 days. Then there's the 6 week wait to see if anything else has been affected by mistake, whilst refraining from any sexual activity (although, if you're anything like me, it's so tender and bruised, even wearing knickers hurts) until it's all checked out.

Been there, done that, got the scars (3 of them) to prove it. There was even a suspicion of a fist mark on my chest......
