A member asked:
Is a tubal ligation instantly effective? the type during a c section where they remove the tubes?

Yes, completely removing the tubes is immediately effective as birth control. You still need to allow some time for healing as you would not want to unnecessarily disrupt the process and risk bleeding or infection.
