Reversal of tubal : You probably need the or report and an xray procedure called an hsg to evaluate if it's feasible to perform the tubal reversal. But remember that most reproductive surgeons will perform a cutting operation to gain access to the anatomy and perform the reversal. You'll need from 4-6 weeks to recovery. Ivf is an option without having the reversal.

Ask your doc: If the procedure was done the day after having a baby you probably had a pomeroy tubal ligation where the tubes are tied and cut. If it was done using a telescope called laparoscopy through the belly button then it is probably done with clips or rubber bands. These latter procedures are easier to repair. If it was done vaginally using coils (essure) it is considered permanent.

Hard to say: Easiest way to know is ask your doctor or request your operative records. If you had the tubal ligation within days of delivery or during cesarean delivery, the tubes were likely tied and cut. If it was performed later via laparoscopy, then they may have been cauterized (burned), or a clip or ring may have been placed to block the tubes. Procedure choice is highly physician dependent.
